I love... pretty aprons!
I love that wonderful people like RITA PENNER kept pestering me to mail her some fabric - because I love aprons and she happens to love making them.
Rita, WOW!! I especially LOVE the the flounce and the back.
Have you ever seen an apron so pretty!?
I love the long ties too. I love that she inserted coffee-dyed lace into the seams!

I love that fabric. I found it in a bargain bin at Periwinkle's. I figured it was pretty enough to make something beautiful, but subtle enough to wear as an apron and not scream out "HEY I HAVE AN APRON ON!!" lol. This one looks terrific with jeans and a t-shirt. (Unlike the one my mother sent me - it's a giant slice of red watermelon with bright green straps. It looks crazy with anything. She bought it for my husband when she found out I was dating a guy who likes to bake bread. p.s. He has NEVER worn it mom. I have, and accidentally answered the door in it. TOTALLY embarrassing!)
And last but not least, I love the pocket that Rita matched up so well. Very cool!
*** I also love that we managed to mail the fabric back and forth through Canada Post for only two dollars each. THAT is a miracle. lol. Thank you Rita! This is the BEST apron ever.
Happy Thursday!

Oh, aren't you a dear to post about this. I hadn't thought about that. About that pocket. It's a mystery. How can it match so well on one side and then not at all on the other side? I turned it to try to match it perfectly everywhere and it just wouldn't work. Reading that you found it in a bargin bin, I wonder if it wasn't a printing problem. I scour the bargin bins too and find that there are often those types of problems. It certainly doesn't affect the beauty of the apron. It turned out even better than I had envisioned. Thanks for sending such pretty fabric!!
