Tonight I’m finally posting pictures from one of the other vintage-styled aprons I’ve completed. I made two versions of this one (one with red bias tape, and this one with blue). I am loving the Michael Miller collections lately. This yellow fabric is called “Mrs. Perfect” and has sweet little homemakers all over it, cleaning and serving food and chatting on the phone, ha! And it comes with an equally fun coordinating print with jello molds and percolators on it (which will make an appearance on future projects).

I also made a half apron, scalloped on the bottom edge, with a hand towel on one side (which I fastened with velcro). The apron was ivory with black ticking stripes and little red apples on it. With that pattern I learned how to make my own bias tape, which was much easier than I thought. It’s been really fun to try all these neat patterns and experiment with crazy fabric I’d probably never use on a skirt or dress. I would have posted a picture of this one too, but gave it away to a friend already.

For my next project, I think I’ll make a mother-daughter pattern of some sort. We’ll see. Lots of little girl dresses are calling my name too! The winter months bring more hot meals to my table, and with these aprons finished I’m ready to get cookin’!
