Apron: Sewing Design 1

I completed my first big official sewing project! I had every intention to make an apron from the start and sat on the fabric (which I couldn't walk away from) for a few weeks. Then on a day home from work due to headache, I began piecing things together and before I knew it the whole thing was done!



I tried to keep the top fairly traditional but a little bit contoured so it looked like 1) it was made for a lady, and 2) it isn't some bbq couture.



The skirt, which I'm rather proud of, features my first experience with pleats to give it a little kitchy 1950s flair.



And in whole, it is fit perfectly for me...including the low pockets for my long frame. More decorative than useful, there may come a time they come in handy.

Sabbatical.

Even though I've been gone, I'm craftier than ever. I've been sewing and cooking like a good wife does.

This summer I began undertaking a project that took far more time (and more glue sticks) than anticipated, but it's finally done!

Presenting my new cookbook, filled with recipes I've collected over the last few years (mostly the last 3 years but some are 10+years old) in one nice and neat spot with room to grow.



Now maybe to start working on that kitchy apron I have planned...
