Fabric Choices!

Oh...I can't wait to get started on these aprons!
This is the fabric for the Cutie Pie Swap

This is the Fabric for the Chicken Lovin' Swap
And...
this is the Pattern I have chosen to use!
I am going to make the Full apron for the "Cutie Pie" apron
cuz that's what my Partner
asked for;) Still waiting on Partner info
for the "Chicken Lovin" apron:)

This is a Darling pattern that Criss-Crosses in back
&
it Also has Ties
&
darts on the front
that make it
fit & look cute
on Any body style!



I have Several ideas for Tuck-ins
but....
I really need to get bizzy
if I am going to have
enough time to sew
Everything I want to.

Another Apron for Me:)

I have been having some fun Sewing,
before I go back to school!
You know I just can't seem to pass up
Anything with Cupcakes
on it
Especially Fabric;)
I bought two different
Cupcake prints...
One I am Saving for a Curtain or Valance
in my New Sewing room
&
the other I decided to use to make this Apron.

I paired it with the Polka dot fabric
that I already had in my Stash &
I used Store bought bias
but,
I got a Bias making machine
&
Rotary cutter for Christmas!
I will post about my new Toys
later..
This pattern is Simplicity 3670
I had never even opened the envelope but,
I Love trying New & Different apron patterns!!
I really Liked the end result, although
I did "Sew" the criss cross straps
in the back...the pattern actually called for
velcro. I thought sewing would
work better in the long run & I am Pleased
with how it turned out!!
I think I will use this pattern for my Upcoming
Cutie Pie & Chicken Lovin' aprons..Hope my partners
will also like this pattern!
I will post pics of my chosen fabrics later too.

Crochet Fun!

Last week here in Georgia, We were actually Snowed in for several days...
& that meant..Lots of time for Crocheting!
I made these lil Yummys(available in my etsy shop)

And I Finally finished this afghan I have been picking up & putting down
time after time;)

I also tried to teach myself to knit..

I thought Maybe I could do a
dish cloth..
I kinda got it but it Sure ain't Pretty:)
