More on Aprons….

I came across this blog entry by MrsCatherine. As I have mentioned before (and you can see more about my opinion on aprons on my homemaking page), I love to meet other people who love aprons as much as I do! Check it out - it is really good!
When we arrived back in Australia, my dear friend Robyn had a pressie for me from when she went to Europe to visit her middle son. She found this piece of fabric in France, and thought of me! :) Isn’t that sweet? She knows I like blue!

She bought it for me with an apron in mind. Before our shipment of “stuff” arrived from the Middle East, I used it as a table runner. :) It looked lovely! Then I finally bit the bullet and cut out an apron:

I’m afraid to say, that’s as far as it got until today, when I finished it! I get a bit distracted with things always, sometimes, often…… :)

Here it is all done:

It’s just a simple pattern. I’m not one for frills, but I do like pretty fabric. This is pretty, but functional. Now I need to make one for Elizabeth….!

    I love the apron. I like blue too! I also want to make some aprons. That’s on the list of the many things I want to sew!

    I reloaded those pictures. I don’t know what’s wrong with them. They were fine when I went to bed last night. Maybe they’ll be ok now. Thanks Joy!

    Hugs, Debbie J.

    I love aprons too! I’m picky about mine, though. They need to be the smock type to keep me completely tidy. The fabric your friend sent you is gorgeous! Enjoy it!
