I have been meaning to make this for a while, but haven't done much sewing recently. It doesn't feel like things have slowed much since Christmas! However, this project probably took me a little over an hour to complete, from cutting out the pieces to sewing. Hmm... maybe I'll do another soon! :)
This apron is for my Grandma in Idaho. She is an awesome cook and made me some of my first aprons! Her birthday is Saturday... Happy Birthday, Grandma!! However, I hope she opens her gift before she sees this post! :) The print is of the state birds and flowers. Her state is front and center!
Grandma loves her bluebirds! I loved how Idaho was at just the right spot!!
The pockets are Idaho on one side and Texas on the other.
(The bluebonnets are a little purple, but oh, well...)
The pattern is based on this original apron I got as a gift last year. It is one of my favorites and I used it as a pattern for this apron as well. I'm not a very picky seamstress. I just lay the apron on my fabric and cut around it! :)

Here's an extra little FOF, just for kicks and giggles!
Cute, huh? When Angie was a baby, Mom made her ziplock bows. I've had this ribbon for a while to make one for Hope, and it just matched her outfit today. (I babysat all three girls! We had a lot of fun.) :) I think she likes her "big girl" bow! What do you think? :)
To make: Just cut the zipper - about an inch or so - off a ziplock baggie and hotglue the bow on. Easy Peasy and so quick! It probably took me five minutes max. It stays in well too.

Well, that's all for today! Hey, it's something other than knitting! :) Hopefully you weren't too tired of knitting though. More on that next week... probably.
We'd love to see what you are working on! Here are the guidelines. (One small housekeeping issue: The guidelines ask that you link to your particular FOF post. This is to help with past FOFs so the link will go right to your FOF post not to the main blog where it may be a page or two down. Directions are in the guidelines. I will be going through and relinking so if your name is in a different place, that's why.) :)

Wow, Charity, that is a really cute apron! Do you take orders. My little girlies would LOVE an apron for their birthdays.. hmm. maybe we need to talk! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the bow. My sis. has an 8 month little girl with lil' hair.. maybe I should try that for her!
I am working my fingers to the bone to get my FOF object done. I messed up so I am having to work doubly hard! :( Oh well... maybe one of these days I'll be beyond messing up. Probably not though!
Oh, btw, I LOVE your blog look!
This is my first time to try the FOF, not sure I did it right. I love the apron. I want to try it soon ( maybe this summer after homeschooling is over) . In the meantime I finished this candle.
ReplyDeleteI love that apron! Of course, there are very few I don't like. :)
ReplyDeleteCute Apron! I really need to learn how to make one - I think I'll try your dish towel apron first and work my way up gently! And I love the idea for using zip lock for baby bows. That's a new one to me. Hope sure is a cute little model!
ReplyDeleteMy first time to participate. :) The apron is very nice! I'm sure your grandma will appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be trying the ziploc bow - sounds like the perfect thing for my sweet little one's fine baby hair! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute apron! She'll love it.
ReplyDeleteAdorable hair-bow model, too. :o)
