I came up with this from our son's inspiration...they told me I should make a heart that has a secret compartment on the back to put candy or chocolate in!
So, I gave it a try and wanted to abort the idea, but thought it worth the effort to at least try to do it...I'm quite satisfied with my attempts...although I don't think anyone should put chocolate in it...I still have to buy stuffing to fill it, but thought I'd post a pix of it.
The year is new and I'm eager to build this business and create from the heart...
To that end, here's a new children's apron that is two-fold...one side to cook with, the other-a crayon holder. This apron went fast! SOLD!
It's a Christmas green with a thick red rick rack as an accent!
Thought I'd post so no one thinks I've fallen off the planet. Just been adjusting to my parents living with us and no time to sew...boo hoo!
I absolutely love buttons! I think it's cuz of all the cool designs, colors, and the stories they tell. A lot of the buttons I have were handed down to my from my mom and she had a sibling that owned a furrier, so I have some buttons with animal fur on them...and other buttons I've just collected over the years.
I use them a lot in making my tags as well as my aprons because I think embellishing with them adds depth to the piece.
Sewing has taken a back seat to the news that my parent's are moving in with us in a month and we have to move in order to accomodate them...plus I have to rehome our dog, Daizee, so she doesn't knock my mom over with her walker.
Ugh, but Yeah, God.
I've made several gifts, but for some reason, I didn't take any pictures. Oh well...
My friend called and thanked me profusely, saying I'd outdone myself...she will use these gifts and she liked them...makes gift giving the best, ya know?
It was a fun project. I love the vintage fabric, too!
If you know someone that would love to have a crayon apron, made to order, let me know.
