Aprons should always be fabulous!

So I decided to gather up some of my favorite fabrics & create a new apron! I believe that aprons don't necessarily have to be functional all the time - sometimes they should just be fun & fabulous! And of course when baking cupcakes, you should always feel delicious! SOOOO

I gathered some canvas, some muslin, 2 of my favorite cotton prints & some embroidery floss & off I went...
A little fraying here & there, a bunch of pin tucking, gathering, pinning, pulling & ironing till it was exactly how I wanted! (That's a tall order sometimes!)

Next, added some free-hand embroidery.....



Flowers made of left-over fabric, more embroidery, a ruffle at the bottom, some vintage lace trim & some painting....



And VOILA! A snazzy new apron - completely lined & with a pocket!! This is the 1st of our showcase aprons which is a one of a kind & will be featured on our upcoming website! OMG I love this apron!!
