As soon as I recieved the goodie, I was browsing on the internet for ideas and inspirations, I'm so happy that I found something that I want to make with it, Thanks to MorganMoore for creating a cute valentine ruffled apron and sharing the tutorial on how to make it. The slight problem was I don't have a sewing machine and I almost changed my mind and make something else withough doing any sewing.
But i already fell in love with the apron i saw and I already have leftover fabrics that i've been meaning to use for quite awhile now, so with determination and telling myself that anything is possible...after 4 days and more than a hundred times being stabbed by the needle and bruised fingers...i finished the apron.
the stitches are messy, the ruffles aren't perfect but i'm pleased with myself and i might..be rewarded with a sewing machine for my birthday this september, as hubby was worried (or maybe took pity) with the amounts of "ouch-es" i produced while he was watching TV.
That's it from me, goind downstairs to cook lunch and will stay indoor today as it's raining outside and i guess it'll be a wet weekend again *sigh*. Wishing you all a nicer weekend!
I like the new look of your site..the drawings are so cute :)
ReplyDeleteWow, great job on the apron..I can't believe you did that all by hand..my goodness! Your poor fingers though, I hope they have started to heal up. There will be on stopping you once you get a sewing machine :)
That is one of the sweetest looking aprons I have seen..it is too cute :) If I had one so pretty, I would be afraid to get it dirty when I bake (I am a very very messy baker!!).
It sure is wet and rainy. Here is hoping for some sunshine soon! Have a nice weekend :)
Hi Susan..I love your apron, it is just precious..you are on your way to great things girl..If you move up to a sewing machine the sky is the limit!!
ReplyDeleteKeep us posted with all your pretty new creations.
Have a lovely pink Saturday..xo Tami
Such a sweet apron.
ReplyDeleteThis is a darling apron and no sewing machine used makes it extra special. I like the new blog header in black/gray (grey) and white. Is that something you made yourself?
ReplyDeleteJust came upon your article and will certainly have a look at additional ones. Seems like real good stuff.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cute! From the Pink Saturday preview, I thought it was a skirt and thought how cute it'd be on one of my little girls. Maybe a thought for the future! :)

ReplyDeleteLove your new layout - looks great! Love the pinny too, very pretty and girly and I'm impressed you did it all by hand! I chose the rose lace too! I'm hoping to use it for something wedding related! x
ReplyDeleteSusan, this is a fabulous apron!!! I do like aprons, too, and this one is sooo you ~ cute and fun! The fabric is perfect for the cheeriness of the whole piece. You did beautifully. I've sewn quite a few of my clothes by hand...before I had a sewing machine. It's such a feeling of accomplishment. You'll get one soon...it's in the air!
ReplyDeleteHave a glorious day in every way,
Marianne xo
