I've been sewing!
Another sign that things are easing up kids-wise is that I've been able to get back to some sewing projects I've had planned years go. One of these is this apron:
It's called Emmeline Apron, by Sew Liberated. I bought the pattern and fabric (Swell by Moda Urban Chiks) in May 2008 (!). I wonder what happened then... But anyway, the pattern itself is fairly straight-forward, just takes a bit of time. I love the end result. I'm not a perfectionist when it comes to household maintanence - as you can confirm by the clutter on the bed in the background - , but there is something about wearing a clean fitted apron in roses and polka dots as you mix the cookie dough. It takes it from plain kitchenwork to domestic magic.
Speaking of magic, it is reversible:
A pretty bow in the back:
The cookies were delicious, by the way.

CUUUUUUUUUUUTE!
Hee! I bought that pattern in 2008 also...I think I cut it out in 2009....maybe 2010 will be the year I sew it all together! Very cute :)
I love this. I agree there is something great about wearing a cute apron.
lovely!
You are so talented. the apron is beautiful as is everything you sew, bake, cook, etc. I am glad that you are finding time again for things that bring you such joy.
