Good grief! Is it July 21st already?? Well, I've had these projects in mind and even had the patterns & fabrics for weeks. I just need to get a move on, don't you think??
I've got the pieces cut for this apron. I'm doing View A (the one with what seems like a mile of hand-made bias tape. lol) It's not a vintage pattern or fabric, but in 2006 aren't aprons, by default, retro? I think so. I chose the fabric because it made me smile. And since I hate to cook, I may as well have some reason to smile while I'm doing it.
I've had this pattern for ages. Again, not a vintage pattern per se, but it definitely has a "mod" feel to it. I used to have a sleeveless dress made out of a similar fabric that I LOVED. I'm not sure what happened to it. I think I'm going to make view on the bottom right, with sleeves and the notched neckline. Even though this project will go more quickly, I'm going to do the apron first. I need another dress that I can't nurse in like I need another piercing....
And one other thing. Has anyone seen Brocante Home? What a great site! I need to peruse it some more, but there is so much vintage you'll explode! And her writing is really wonderful. Her latest post has me in tears.
