Tying on the Apron Strings

I was working on a quilt all day on Saturday. As much as I love making quilts, they just take forever to be completed! I was in desperate need to create a small project that could be finished quickly. I remembered an apron tutorial I found online here.

After one trip to the fabric store, two Disney movies, three seams picked out, four improvisations, five pin pricks, six separate fabrics and seven hours of working, I finally had my girlie-girl apron! It really was fun to make and turned out fantastic!

Check out all the colors in this apron!

I just LOVE all the ruffles! I feel so feminine and like a little girl when I wear this apron. I don't think I will wear this when baking, but I could probably wear this every day! It's one of those pieces that makes me happy by just wearing it!

Since I am on the subject of aprons, I want to share another apron I made a few months ago for a friend's birthday. This next apron was super easy to make. The hardest part was threading the ribbon through the holes.

This is me modeling the apron before mailing it to my friend.

This is the picture my friend sent to me with a big "I love this!" Check out those pretty details!

I love, love, love sewing and turning an idea into a beautiful piece of artwork!

So cute! I love both of those aprons! You are so talented! I'm trying to learn to quilt, but doing it on my own. It's daunting. :) I'd love to see a quilt of yours. But I love, love, love those aprons!

Quilting is most definitely daunting. I feel like that every time I start working on my current quilt. As for seeing one of my quilts, here's a post I did when my first quilt was finished in 2008. http://pianoplinker.blogspot.com/2008/09/quilting-circle.html

I'll be posting pictures of my current quilt when it is done... I can't let a certain person see it till it is finished. (Cough... Hannah... Cough)

I went and looked at your other quilt and wow! It looks beautiful! I am re-motivated to work on my quilt. (It will help when I have more space...)
