My favorite sewing projects are those inspired by a thrift store find. Last week I found a large organdy curtain covered with pockets, except for the corner which was missing.
How about some aprons? I had more fun matching trims and scraps to come with up a whole line of Pockety Aprons. They are so pretty! And practical for tidying--sort your little items as you pick them up.
I have put six in the shop, but I am going to give one away--my favorite because of its vintage trim. Black and white is so stylish!
Submit a comment putting your name in the hat, and I'll draw a name on Monday, September 3 at noon.
I'd love to be entered in your drawing! What fun! You are so talented and creative. Your site is one of the ones that has inspired me to finally learn to sew. Thanks for sharing your beautiful life with us!
ReplyDeleteJust like my mama used to wear...
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about possibly owning a pockety apron will be my daughter silently peeking into each pocket as I scoot about the house :o)

My hubby will be in the US in early October so I am going to enter the draw in the hope of winning and you will be able to post(yes I am hopeful) to the US as opposed to UK!!!! Really enjoying your aesthetically pleasing, stylish and intelligent blog-from the heart!
