Pink Apron Set

This set was created for a lucky 7 year old for her birthday. Her mom told me her favorite colors were pink and purple, and I immediately thought of this fabric. She also got an American Girl doll for Christmas, so a coordinated doll apron was a must-have.

Mini-me was my model for the day. Models don't always smile. This apron is a size 6, while Mini-me is a 4, just to give you an idea of fit.

The apron has a yolk top, which eliminates the tie at the neck. The straps on the doll apron criss-cross on the back.




My favorite part of the little girl aprons are the pockets. They have a gathered bottom half. Too cute!

Done!

The items from my first show are done and delivered. What a great feeling that is! My workshop feels much lighter.

The brown bags were filled with smaller items, like the aprons or "feminine rolls." Then, each bag and purse had a tag with the person's name on it.

These 6 bags were just part of what I did this past month. I had 3 other orders from people not at the show, and those bags had already been delivered. Curly's favorite is the black and white bag. I would have a hard time picking a favorite. I loved them all. The fabric with the blue background with green and brown flowers was very popular. It was represented in 5 bags of the 9 bags.

One of These Things is Not Like the Other

Yesterday, I was trying to complete 5 aprons at once. I had a really good system down, but then I noticed something not quite right. Can you spot it?



No? How about another view.




See it now? Yes, the blue apple/pear fabric was cut upside down. Whoops!

But, some things did go right. Isn't this the cutest pocket? It's for the children's apron.

For Dolls

My girls are obsessed with dolls. There is always a doll stashed in remote corners of the house. So, I went with the flow. Here are two great things for their dolls: a quilt and an apron . They retail f0r $20 each, and, as always, are done custom, just for you.
