Way back when I made a couple of aprons. Recent events bumped their blog debut. The first was purpose made for sewing – you heard it, a sewing apron.
Debbie has been wanting one to wear to the guild sewing retreat (not until August – catches all the threads) so I made her one for her significant birthday back in January.
It is of course the lovely Emmeline Apron pattern by Sew Liberated. I was really pleased with the fabric I found for the front and back (this lovely is reversable). Debbie and I share a love of paisley (the front) and the back features sewing themed fabric and a little applique heart. Doesn’t Debbie look lovely in it.
The second apron was for a lovely little three year old called Elena, made with one of my favourite cherry blossom fabrics.
Have you made any aprons lately?
Do you know, I haven’t made an apron since school – I never wear one at home – but that first one is so pretty, it almost looks like a dress! And you know I love the lavender colour of the second one! 🙂
I love the apron Claire, and keep thinking what a great sundress it would make!
What a good looking friend you have Claire……you must make her more beautiful presents in the future….
Yes Noah, she does look great in that apron, so young and thin…..you wouldn’t think she just had a significant birthday would you!!!!!!
hmmm me thinks that someone is encouraging her fan club here 😀
I can see a a new trend this year at guild meetings, we will swing away from bags and go for pinnies! heheheheh.
oh i must say that claire has other good looking friends too lol
Way too glam for an apron! I’m with Andrea Debbie would look great in a sun dress like this!
