3 Little Gals Aprons

These were for a special order for someone's nieces.  They had some favorite colors and I tried to find fabrics in my collection that would work on short notice.
You look, you pray, you look some more, you pray, you cut, you pray again and VOILA ~ this was the outcome!

The first is brown with pink tones.  Shown on a 10 year model who wears a little larger size.

Front side rounded pocket, ruffled edging, adjustable neck strap

Tie neck strap for some adjustment

Little bow and button detail on the waistband

 2nd one was lime green with pink tones and my 8 year old daughter really liked it.  She was a happy model for me.

 Front pocket and 3 way adjustable neck straps in the back with a tie as well.

Loving the way the back turned out with the polka dots

 3rd one was pinks.  I added some blue and red tones for contrast and it turned out very sweet.

My happy toothless 8 year old model!

 These full aprons with adjustments should fit a young baker/cook for a few years.  Made with bright colors, they reflect their personality and also hide little spills and unavoidable stains.  $25 Taxes Included, Shipping extra, local delivery FREE.

Sunny Sixties Ladies Apron

Another Sunny Sixties Apron

I had cut out 3 different patterns for different sizing from this same fabric.  See the post below for the one I cut out without a pattern.

This is to be a ladies, with 3 way adjustable shoulder straps.

 Girls thought I should make a flower on it to join the stripe of material with the yellow... They think it turned out cute.

 On the shortest adjustment and criss-crossed in the back.

Straight shoulder straps on the longest adjustment.

Thought I'd compare the 1st Sunny Sixties with the 2nd.

Aprons and more aprons

I've been trying out a bunch of apron patterns I have gathered up.  The tricky part is that some don't have ANY instructions.  Now, I am an instruction type gal ~ I like details and more details.  This has been a stretch for me and .... wonder of wonders... I am actually LOVING it!

This is the 1st time in my short sewing career that I haven't had to rip out any stitches.  Once, the machine bunched a little at the start of a seam.  Usually it does that about every 3rd seam.  I have this feeling that God is blessing this time for me.

These aprons may be used for presents and some may be sold (gotta pay for that material somehow!)  Good quality cotton fabric is such a joy to sew with ~ it really doesn't compare with anything else I have used.  Worth every dime.

Aprons and totes

Same as the pink, scalloped edging, but more modern look.

Country Gingham apron

With button up back shoulder straps

I wasn't going for a behind shot, but I love the bow and buttons!

Reversible stylish tote!  My Mom says it's "Classy".  Maybe she's hinting?

Sweetheart Cupcake aprons for little bakers.

Modeled on my 8 year old ~ She's as adorable as the apron!

A little baker's apron

This has turned into a favorite pattern.  I changed a couple things to make it sit better, and I will making many more of these.

Large detailed pocket

2 buttons for adjustment
10 year wearing on longest

8 year old wearing on shortest adjustment

"upcycled" sundress 

I like to make the neck tie a little adjustable ~
so I leave one end "out" and this one I turned into a bow.
You could undo it, then redo it to lengthen or shorten it.
