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.

I'm coming up this weekend and I'm not leaving until you help me make one!! Ditto on the fabric. Surely I'll make something with that fabric someday...right?

Lisha, I hate to tell you this but I do NOT recognize that fabric. You may have gotten it from me but I didn't buy it. It may be worse than you think--if it came from me it would have been some of MY MOTHER's leftovers. Now, it is worse than you thought. So your friend may not only have a 50 style apron but one with 50's fabric as well. It looks really cute though.
