OOoohhhhh Archie....

I know what I want, but I can't really find a pattern for it that doesn't involve miles and miles of bias binding. I have no wish to attach miles of bias binding, so I just may try drafting something myself.

Inspiration apron.......................

Fabric...

It's a mid-weight printed quilter's cotton. The actual woven gingham was so thin it was nearly sheer; I just didn't think it would hold up to being used. 

Time to stop planning and get to doing.

Look at these aprons!

Thanks for sharing all your wonderful Valentine creations!! Hope you're ready for the next round of swapping goodness.

Sew Along Updates?

Hi Ladies,

I'd love to hear about your Flirty Valentine Aprons. One I made is at the top modeled by "Rosie", and one I received is at the bottom of this post, the infamous Smoochie by EllynAnne Giesel.

Please leave a comment with a link to updates and/or post on the Flickr group. I LOVE this holiday!! "Love" - hah! Didn't mean to be "punny"!

Valentines Apron Sew Along

Hi all!

Since I'm not hosting a Flirty Apron Swap for Valentines Day, I thought I'd sponsor a Sew Along for everyone who is interested. This will be a fun show-and-tell for the holiday that perfectly lends itself to this flirty and fun fashion accessory.

Post in the comments section links to any blog posts about your sewing project. Additionally, please join and post pictures at the Flickr Valentines Apron group, http://www.flickr.com/groups/valentinesaprons/.

To show the world that you've joined this Sew Along, I've created a button for you to post on your blog. I NEED MORE! I would love to receive your button creations and will post them on the sidebar for all to see. I'm sure you'll do better than mine; I always make the writing too small!
