I feel like I'm hoggin' the blog......but


OK....I can't help myself. I have to post pictures of the finished apron. I just noticed that I posted the last 4 entries......(Shawnee you might want to rethink letting me play along). I may be slightly obsessed :) Is there a 12 step program for apron swappers?????I chose the patriotic fabric because my partner loves our country and I wanted to make an apron that represents that. God bless the USA!

21st Century Tuck In :)

So I figured that reusable shopping bags are very 21st Century! This pattern is similar to a Target bag. It "sits" open when you place things in it. I've made 2 for myself recently and the checker guy at Trader Joe's said they were too cute to put the groceries in. Hopefully my partner will like hers too :)

Sneak peek :)


Ok....so I'll post the sneak peek now, and when I'm done with all the tuck ins and I'm ready to send it off I'll post a picture of the entire apron :) Can I just say that I love love love the femininity of the 50's? I used a vintage 50's pattern for this one.

Newbie Question:

Is it OK to post a picture of the finished apron, or does that spoil the suprise? Should I just post a sneak peek instead? Thanks everyone!
