Hi,
The Final Draft—Shabby
Hi Everyone,
Sorry to blog and run, but I’m very busy for the next couple days. Here it is, the final draft or whatever you want to call it. My shabby Chic Apron is part of the Elizabeth collection. Most of the Shabby Chic’s will look this or at least kinda like this.
I will be back blogging on Monday for sure Tuesday…
An Apron in the making
Good morning,
So someone said that maybe I should consider making some single sided aprons. My friends in blog land let me tell you this is a problem for me! You see I have seam issues, I hate them with reversible I can hide them lock them inside to never be seen. So I’m thinking about it and BAM! IDEA!! A year ago in girls club we made chenille pillow here is mine.
The idea was! why not make a apron that has this as the trim this way the more you wash it the better it becomes, I will call them shabby chic. So here is my work in progress. For those that I asked they felt like they would enjoy these aprons more because they felt like they could wear them without the worry of getting them dirty. I replied “I don’t understand that, is this not what an apron is for!”
First I did this one hmmm need to make some adjustments. but not bad…
Ok this is more like it maybe I’ll tweak one more thing..
Then there is Taylor this apron is crisp, clean, light and compact.
I’m the oldest sister of a family of fifteen children; I have four amazing children of my own whom have blessed me with nine wonderful granddaughters.
For me sewing has always been a hobby anything that allows me to be creative. I also enjoy crafts, photo collages, cooking, gardening, decorating and photography.
My favorite is making original one of a kind items. I have been making custom pieces for homes sense the early 1980’s from curtains to table ensembles, bed sets to clothes, and art for the wall using whatever is necessary for the coordinating factor. My mother was a master seamstress, she taught me how to make anything with or without a pattern.
Personally I like starting with patterns then I alter to fit my needs or ideas. This saves me a lot of time. I have always been very detail oriented striving for quality. Artists are very strong in my family, my artistic talent comes out in my color schemes, altered styles and detail work.
