Much Ado About Aprons

I have been dealing with the creative bug quite a bit lately... just wanting to make something!
Finally, last weekend, I got the chance to do something about it.



Having recently purchased this cute fabric, I decided an apron was in order.






in my mind, apple fabric = apron

I managed to whip up this adorable apron, using a pattern found in this book

This shows not only my sewing skills, but my lack of an organized closet!

It's not the most wonderful sewing job ever, but I'm pretty darned proud of myself. A lot of the seams are far from perfect, but since it hasn't fallen apart yet, I'm considering it a 'win.' The pattern was fairly easy to follow, and I'm happy with how the pleats at the waistband turned out. And now that I've gotten back into the sewing swing of things, I can not wait to start my next project... perhaps a nice yoga bag...???








And not to be forgotten - while Joe and I were thrift store wandering this afternoon, we stumbled upon this lovely little number.


I think it's perfect for grilling in the summer, no?
