Lovely Apron

I was so pleased with my wrap dress that I ordered a couple more kits from Suzanne.


This apron came out beautifully, with a lovely drape. It was so much fun to sew on all the trimmings--satin binding, cotton lace, narrow ribbon . . .


and tiny floral appliques.


I realized while doing this project that it is time to fancy things up in general. Nothing left plain anymore is my new rule of thumb!

    Love the fancy-ness! I discovered piping is my new favorite trim. Makes everything so interesting and elegant.

    Looks lovely. I just bought a new apron from the op-shop today for a steal, gorgeous pattern in a wrap around style. I have to go home and cook now.:)

    Beautiful apron. I adore aprons...but the problem is that the few I have I find to be so pretty that I don't want to 'mess them up' and so I rarely wear them..

    Only one way to remedy that I think...get more aprons. =) I'll have to check out her kits.

    I adore that apron! If you read the name of my blog- you will see that I love aprons anyway. THAT apron is gorgeous. Pretty enough for a tea party *U*
