Aprons

So, I got a little bored this last week and decided to whip out a few more aprons. I finished these four and have a couple more waiting to be sewn together. These aprons below are at Paper Tales and are up for sale.

I found the cutest little model posing as a Paper Tales customer. I knew she would be perfect for the job, with her adorable little figure. She agreed and below she's modeling all four aprons...

I loved the shape of the trees in this print, it kinda reminds me of a "Sherbet Forest".


The colors in this fabric caught my eye, and when I got close enough to see the actual print, I fell in love with all the little birdies.... So I named this one "Bye Bye Birdie"


First of all the pink with white polka dots were a must have, then I saw the green and pink owls... oh my word... so cute! Together they make the sweetest "Cotton Candy" apron.


This fabric is from Heather Bailey. I loved this print and knew it would make the cutest apron. I named this one "Cherry Limeade".

And to my sweet little model, thank you so much for modeling my aprons.

Sometimes...

don't you just want to yell?

I find myself over thinking certain situations,
trying to find some form of reasoning... I can't!

I'm irritated with the world...

More aprons...

I just finished 2 more aprons last night. My model (Michelle @ Paper Tales) so graciously agreed to model both of them. This material is from Heidi Grace, it was so cute I had a hard time deciding what print I wanted. I settled on just 5... I may go back and get more!

OMGosh... could this print be anymore adorable?! I love the polka dots mixed in with the happy-go-lucky "family day at the carnival" theme.

I've had some questions about the prices of my aprons. The ones that I've posted are promised to Paper Tales. You can purchase them at Paper Tales, they cost between $30-35 depending on the work that is in them.

Have a great day,
Cindy

Sundae Gifts

I made 12 of these for Paige's teachers for Christmas. They were extremely cheap, easy and fun to make!
I found the candy cane sticks that had about 10 a bag for less than $2, (half of the sticks were broken, but I didn't mind buying a few bags for that price, plus they are those soft ones that when you bite into them they crumble) & sundae cups at Walmart for $1.50 each. I found the red, green and white candy covered malt balls at Henry's Marketplace (local organic food store) and the Hershey's kisses were cocoa flavored.

I had a little trouble with getting them into a goodie bag, so I slid the goodie bag over the top and tightened it around the bottom at the base with ribbon and a tag...

This idea can be used for Valentines Day or even Easter, just make sure the pattern on your bag can be upside down. If you're stuck with a one way pattern on your bags, cut the bottom of the bag and slide it over the cup. Gather & tie the bag at the bottom with ribbon and at the top with a big bow or a pom-pom.

TTFN,
Cindy

Busy...

I got my sewing machine out a couple of days ago to attempt to make some aprons. I've gotten a few done and needed a model so I asked my neighbor who is beautiful and tiny, she graciously agreed. While I was there I couldn't stop taking pictures of her Yorkie Stella.

Stella is a cone head dog right now, poor Stella. She just had bone surgery on her left rear leg. She is about 6 months old and the top of her femur was deteriorating due to a lack of blood flow to the bone. This happens in Yorkies (she was unaware of it) and hasn't been determined if its caused by trauma or is hereditary. Now that the surgery is done, she shouldn't have any more problems. Yeah for Stella...

Okay, back to the aprons, here is the first one I made. I found this material and couldn't help myself. OMGosh it was so cute. I combined a couple different patterns and this is how it turned out. .... yummy cupcake!

This one turned out completely different than what I pictured, but I'm still happy with it. This one makes me think of Neapolitan ice cream.

When I came across this material It brought back so many memories of reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar to my son. So I had to buy it! I didn't have a pattern so this is what I came up with to use the cute print to its fullest.

I'm in the midst of making more, and will post them when they are done. These guys will be up for sale at my LSS called Paper Tales.

Have a great day,

Cindy
