Apron Fever
I gave my first apron as a gift! My friend Vanessa invited us to their annual holiday dinner party so I brought her one as a hostess gift. It looked exactly like this one execpt it had a pink trim. This is the pear fabric that I have in three different colors and I hope to make "family aprons" for a couple of my relatives who have young girls. Of course I hope to inspire all kinds of warm fuzzy moments between mom, dad and kids, all cooking together with their aprons. Either way I am having fun making them! :oD My Next goal is to learn basic hand embroidery so I could maybe sew the person's name on a pocket for the apron. I am
eagerly awaiting an order from Joann fabrics but, not surprisingly they are backed up and the order is delayed. I've been reading up on it, so it's only a matter of time!

Intentional Pleats!
As my sewing buddy Tripti can attest, most, if not all, of my projects have pleats. Unintentional Pleats that result from my less-than-perfect sewing skills. Not this time though! My life is so exciting that I feel it necessary to announce my first intentional pleats! A whole group of them in fact- a ruffle, if you will! The apron itself didn’t turn out as cute as it looked in my head, but the lesson was learned,
so I’ll count it as an experiment. It’s a little…Minnie Mouse with that black edging. The fabric I’ve had for a year and didn’t know what to do with. In fact I got it the same day I got the leaf fabric in my first apron. (The Joann Fabrics nearby was moving locations and having the obligatory blowout moving sale and I was just learning to sew so I grabbed all kinds of stuff!) Anyhow, Stay tuned for the next exciting adventure at L-Del Sews.
