I have several friends who have blogs but didn't really "get it" until I visited one of my good friend's Courtney's blog. One of her blogging interests include cooking, and because she inspired me to create my own blog, this first entry is dedicated to her.
Courtney just recently had a birthday and I wanted to sew her an apron.
These are the fabrics I choose.
This is my little "work shop" a.k.a. my kitchen table.
I was having fun, so I decided to add some piping to the pocket.
When I was sewing the straps I realized I didn't have any D rings... No Worries! I used some old keychain rings instead.
The key-rings held up just nice and I felt good about re-using something I was not using.
It turned out so cute! It is always fun to sew/create something with a particular person in mind. I just couldn't stop at the apron, I had to make something else...
So I got more of the fabric together.
And cut out a shape for an OVEN MITT! I did not have anything to use for the insulation and lining so I started looking around the house for things to re-use. I found an old towel (that had holes in it) and a wool blanket that I did not particularly like. PERFECT!
Quilted the layers together.
Added a little trim.
Too cute!!
They are made for each other!
I think Courtney was as excited about her apron as I. Plus, when she tried it on, my heart leaped. It looked perfect on her! To see my blogging inspiration check out her page at www.onemoderngirl.blogspot.com.
Awe thanks! I love the apron & oven mitt so much! You should sell them :-)
