National TIE ONE ON Day - November 21st

Wow, I can't believe my timing. Wednesday has been declared National Tie One On Day by EllynAnne Geisel of Apron Memories!

I just made this for my mother using Amy Butler's Tree Peony "Sky" fabric and off-white linen:

I'm going to give it to her on Thanksgiving so she can use it through the holidays. I had to make it smaller than normal because she is tiny.

Fabric, Fabric, Fabric PHOTOS

OK, I didn't post the photos a few days ago so here they are:

JUST IN yesterday! Kristen Doran from Australia. I think I will keep this fabric for myself as in making something for ME not my shop.

Fabric, Fabric, Fabric

Besides sewing aprons, I've been accumulating more fabric! I received two shipments from Japan this weekend (YAY) from Etsy shops alittlegoodness and matatabi. From Leslie at Goodness I received some really fun Lotta Jansdotter fabric and some cute prints from Matatabi.

And finally, I am waiting for another Australian fabric from Kristen Doran. You Aussies know how to design fabric! :)

Next up on my list of sewing is a Hippie Mama Lovechild Apron! I can't wait to make this, it's all ready, I just have to wait until I go home tonight. Then I will make a matching hippie kiddie apron I think. Fun.

I have so many plans for using this fabric and so little time!
