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.


And here's my packet o' goodness from Leslie at alittlegoodness


Leslie sent me some free goodies including the print fabric on top. Here is the Lotta Jansdotter fabric close up:


And from the pages of the Bienfait magazine, a cute apron:


And last but not least, from Frances at Matatabi shop:


Frances included the little kitty fabric and the cute sewing tape gratis! Sweet!

Oh, and some Christmas fabric I had to buy this weekend at a local fabric shop:


Ready, set, SEW!

I think I just like saying all those words. hippie mama love child apron



BTW, I just found this amazing shop online that sells aprons, love it!

(so shopping on Etsy is a bargain, check out their prices, yow)

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!

Etsy Front Page

WOW, my mushroom apron is in a cool little treasury for gifts and made the front page of Etsy! And I totally missed it. Apparently it was at night, maybe last night, not sure but it made my views go up to 615 for that apron alone, very nice. I kind of like having it in the shop so if it sells, I'll miss it! I can't make another without ordering more fabric from Japan so it's OOAK for sure.



The apron is in my shop here.

More Aprons

I'm on an apron binge. More to come. Here's the one I finished yesterday, more Shinzi Katoh fabric:

I love the way this turned out! Fabric from ChocolateSwirl Etsy Shop. Sewing by me.
