Holiday shopping?

Holiday shopping?

I’m sure I’m not the only one who is trying to stretch their budget when it comes to gift buying this year, so I’m having a sale over in the shop to help!

When you buy any apron and cookbook in the same transaction, you’ll get $5 back.
That’s $5 that you could use on a gift for someone else.
Or to get a Chai Latte.
Or to buy the ingredients for peppermint bark.
Or to send an Operation Christmas Child box. Yep. :)

A Custom Mommy + Me Set

A Custom Mommy + Me Set

I was contacted by someone with a custom request through Etsy the other day. She was wanting to buy a Mommy + Me set for her sister-in-law and niece, but in fabric different than what I had on hand.
After a few emails back and forth, she decided on this gorgeous poppy fabric from the Michelle line at Hancock Fabrics (and it’s on sale this weekend!).

I used a coordinating material for the facing to make them a little more fun. It turned out so cute!

Emma was watching me pack them up. She really wanted to “help”. :)

This is what orders look like before I send them out, all wrapped in white paper and ribbon. I hope that the woman enjoys opening it. :)

I am really happy with how this set turned out and hope that the mother and daughter love it too.
Is anyone else interested in an apron or set in this fabric? If so, let me know. I might just buy the entire bolt of material!


Celebrate Dad

Celebrate Dad

Father’s Day is June 20th this year. How are you planning to celebrate?

My family usually tried to get up ahead of Dad and make breakfast to serve to him in bed before we all headed out the door for church. Then we’d come home, BBQ a late lunch and take naps in the hammocks afterwards. Or some variation on that theme!
The celebration always included BBQ and an afternoon nap. :)

The BBQ apron in my shop would make a great gift for Dad this year. I’m still looking for something for Emma and Baby#2 to give to John, though (we already have plenty of aprons on hands, since I make them :-).
Have any of you found something for your Dad, or your husband? I’m looking for ideas!

I made two of them and tweaked the design a little, switching from a wide center pocket to a single ruffled side pocket. :)

I’ll be listing them later today (once I’ve taken some decent pictures, that is!).

this afternoon

This afternoon I am:

-making up a few more aprons (with a new, tweaked design)

-thinking of something to use this piece of material for.
Maybe a wall hanging for Baby #2? I was thinking of using a bold/graphic piece, but really didn’t find what I wanted. So I settled for this aqua print. We’ll see how it goes. Maybe I’ll edge it with brown ………

working on things


more aprons are in the works ……… I’m just having a few “technical difficulties” along the way. Rather, the machine thinks it’s hungry for thread, trys to chew it and then doesn’t like it and spits it back out. “Bad sewing machine! Bad!”

I think I have figured out the issue, though, so things should be up and running again shortly.

here’s a fresh turn-out of aprons in warm blues with beige accents. they were a pleasure to sew, and if I could wear more than one at a time, I’d keep them!

the double pocket, neck and waist ties on the denim version are made out of a beige cotton canvas material with a vintage-look rose print, and the second one is cut from a beautiful French country style of cotton canvas. both aprons feature d-rings on the neck strap for easy adjustment.
