Gingham style!

Here is a sneak peak to my gingham aprons! One for me and one for a friend.  

Hello, My Name is Amy

And I have a gingham issue.  Had all of these in my stash.

Yet, I bought more orange gingham yesterday!

I see some chicken scratch headed my way!!

Got my pattern picked out!

I decided on my pattern,

now I need to choose my fabrics.

There will definitely be red.....

maybe some yellow......

and perhaps a chicken or two :) 

I think I got a little to Excited...

Ok, I think I got a little zealous,,, not only did I find the perfect gingham,,, but I got a whole day to myself and decided this was a perfect day to play in my sewing room...

 I decided this gingham pillow case would work perfect for a clothes pin apron...

 a bit of cutting, a bit of laying fabric this way and that, a old stitched doily...

 scissors and pins down,,,, now off to the ironing board....

 This apron has 2 large pockets, perfect  to hold clothes pins while taking down the laundry, and the doily creates a 3rd, smaller pocket, perfect for a hanky or one's cell phone or both.

and as always,,, I have to add a couple of yoyos... my all time favorite adornment on aprons.

I think I just might have to make another one, if only I could find the other gingham pillow case...

Green Gingham Apron..

Oh gosh, what perfect timing... I had just pulled out my old German Dirndle, in green stripes and gingham.

 I am sad to say, it no longer fits... to many Strudels... lol!

I love the mix of floral, stripes and gingham...

Hmmm, I think it's time for me to makes a new Apron clothes pin holder,,, and yepadoodle, Gingham cotton will be the perfect fabric!
