Vintage Inspired Apron made at a Vintage Price

What is it about the onset of Autumn that urges me to stitch and sew? Is is the vibrant fall colors? Or perhaps the crisp morning air and how the sunlight creates such a contrast against the gray far off clouds? Maybe the reality of it is in fact that I haven't done a darn creative thing all summer long! And now, I am itchin' to get stitchin'!!!

So about two months ago I made this apron. I found the white floral fabric at Goodwill (it was formerly an embroidered tablecloth). The blue fabric is what was leftover after I shortened a bridesmaids dress that I wore this summer (yeah, I am not tall, so I had a good 4-5 inches to work with. that's one of the bonus of being petite!). And the yellow is an inexpensive cotton purchased with a coupon at JoAnn's. The pattern I used was one I downloaded for free at www.bhg.com. All total this probably cost $3.50 in materials.


If you'd like to make one yourself you can find the pattern here:

If you're not into sewing or don't have the time, I can make one for you. Just email me. Or look for some to be for sale very shortly at my etsy shop.
