Black & White With Red All Over...

My latest apron creation was shipped off last week

to Susan in Texas.  It's a black & White combo

with  some wonderful red accents.  The  extra long wide polka dot ties can be tied in the front with a big bow.

Or tie it in the back, so you can see more of the

 red print of the waistband.

What about the pearls?

  Every girl needs some wonderful pearls to dress up their outfit.

Do you like the BIG RED gerber Daisy?

The flower is attached with a pin closure

and can be removed when it's time to wash this little treasure.

The center of the flower is embellished with a beautiful button.

A matching pair of dish gloves addes the final touch to this outfit. 

 If you must wash the dishes, why not do it in style!

Red Yo-Yos with more beautiful black and siver buttons

 embellish the gloves.

When You're doing household chores, don't you find it more enjoyable when you're wearing a stylish apron? 

 Susan should get her special delivery Monday or Tuesday. 

 I Hope it's exactly what she wanted and it puts a smile on her face, while she works around the her house!

Lots of wonderful places to visit.  I'll be linking up to....

Just Something I whipped Up

A Gift from "A is for Apron"...

A gift for a new mother.....

Here's another apron I just completed. I had all good intention of sending this apron off to a friend I met through Apronista when she was pregnant. Time got away from me and she has had the baby. It's a maternity pattern. Years ago one of the large pattern companies had this pattern but it's no where to be found. While I was going through the "A is for Apron" book I found a VERY similar pattern. I love the gathered pockets and the bias tape bows. I hope she likes it. Her favorite color is red. I added a thin bias tape out of a black and white leaf pattern.

The "Provence Smock" is the apron featured in the book. I think the apron would be great to wear as an accessory to your outfit.

Another view of the apron.

Isn't the back cute. I used two vintage black buttons on my apron.

Sewing an apron can be easy. It makes a wonderful gift for someone you care about.
