Apons and more aprons...

These are all thrift shop finds... It was a really good week for apron collectin...The 1st one is made with ladies hankies, they are sewn on by hand. And that really is a pocket..it is tacked at the top to keep it from falling down..very fragile..

The other white one is hand embroidered..very lovely...

The yellow check has a thread crochet border...and a sweet pocket..

The red one has one big pocket sewn across the bottom , then divided into three...very handy...

The last one, I just liked the colours of the fabric... it does have a slight tear in the front...just needs a little tender lovin care..and a few stitches...

Happy apron collectin...

Here is the cute little brown print number I made all by myself...Yes, I had a dream about wearing this apron, and then I just had to figure out how to make a pattern for it...And of course I just had to use the cutest pockets ever on it, in a solid brown...It has a scalloped bottom edge and all the edges are hemmed. ( I am hardly ever satisfied when using binding on the hems)...This is a fitted apron with a neck strap...I'm thinking about adding a buttonhole to the apron and a few buttons to the strap to make it adjustable...Do you think $12.00 is too much to ask for this apron? Considering the fabric, I can hardly go any lower...Don't be afraid to tell me what ya think... Happy apron makin'....Cat...

Pretty Blue Apron

Are these the cutest pockets ever?? These little beauties are sooo easy to make. They were a little scary at first, but if I am very careful to take a 1/4 inch seam, they are no problem and the hardest part is turning them inside out...Sooo worth the trouble...I want to try them out on every apron I make lately...(I am working on a brown bib apron right now) I fell head over heels for this blue paisley fabric and matched it up with this big blue rose pattern...And I luv this apron...I hope somebody else likes it too...Come on, don't be afraid to tell me what ya think...I like feedback..I'm a big girl, I can take it...haha...

Well, that litte brown number is calling me to get it finished... Happy apron makin'....
