flower sugar apron

Remember this fabric?  And remember my daughter asked me to make an apron for her for Christmas?  Well, I did.  I didn't quite have it ready to put under the tree, but it was finished before the year ended.  It turned out great and my daughter LOVES it.  It's just taken me a while to convince her to model it for me. 

I made it without a pattern - it's basically fashioned after the traditional "chef's apron".  I used a white on white dot for the ties and facing.  I wasn't able to talk her into letting me use the newsprint fabric ... but she's only 11 and I made it for her so she got final veto power.

I had a pretty eyelet bedskirt on our queen bed for a long time.  When we upgraded to a king, I didn't want to get rid of it so I saved this trim.  I didn't know what I was going to do with it at the time, but when I was putting this apron together, I came across it in my sewing room and thought it would make the perfect little custom touch. Recycling at it's best. :)

What a terrific idea! And the model poses like a pro, too ;)
The fact the bowl is pink is, of course, so appropriate, but I am swooning over your backsplash. Love the hexie design to bits!

Love it. I have an old apron that I was thinking of using as a pattern, you have inspired me to have a go. I have never made anything other than quilted things before, quilts, cushions etc. Let's hope it's wearable! Your work is solo lovely. Thank you for sharing in a wonderful blog. Sue

It looks great!! No surprise there love the eyelet. And may I just say thanks for blogging. I feel like Instagram has taken over and I like it, but reading blogs lets you "get to know the person" a little. So thanks. ( I need to get back to my blogging more too!)
