apron creations…
OK…I promise to move beyond aprons. One of my goals for the weekend was to get a few made and between district playoffs for boy’s basketball I was able to get 5 made.
The apron pictured above is similar to the one in my last post. I had just enough of the soft, vintage plaid to make two and the white piece is a table topper cut in half so I worked that into both as well. The pocket has a few fun features on it so I’m hi-lighting that here.
This apron was an experiment that I love and will definitely make more. I really wraps around well and feels good on. I made it more for vendor use rather than kitchen use. I think that it would actually wash OK, but because it’s burlap, I won’t guarantee that just yet.
My favorite finishing touch on each one of my aprons is a snippet of this T.V. ribbon from a turn of the century Belgium warehouse.
Both aprons are $35

Those aprons are beautiful! I keep postponing making an apron and I’m not sure why … this inspires me to get moving!
I’m LOVING the burlap:)
Hello there Miss Elain 🙂 Haven’t commented in a while, but stop by often to see what your up to. A whole LOT, as always! I LOVE, LOVE your aprons…I’m working some burlap into some bags and aprons too. Just hoping they turn out as beautiful as yours 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thank you for your sweet words, Charity. You have such a nice touch with your bags and aprons. I’m sure they will turn out lovely…good luck with your sale! >
That TV ribbon! I bet you were over the moon when you found it. What a perfect touch, all your own.
