June Cleaver, may I borrow your pearls?

A friend of mine is turning 30 and really wants a 50's style apron. This is my latest project.

These pockets were sooo fun to make.

Ruffle at the neck.

The best part is, it was free. I'm finally using up some of the fabric my mom bought about the time I was born! I have nightmares that in 20 years I'll still have the fabric I have now. Patiently waiting to be sewn into something, while new little bits of fabric continuously grow around it. Always growing, never diminishing. Yet another way I'm like my mother.

Abbie Rufener took this. Look at my husband. Yeow!
