mother's day gifts...
are finally finished! I have spent the past two days sewing these super cute aprons for my mom and mil. It's been lots of fun but I'm happy they are finally done. Here's some pics:
The polka dot sweetheart neckline is adorned with cute brown ric rac.
It has a really thick - 3 inch waist tie
The skirt is pieced together with three different patterns of fabric. the bottom of the skirt has a really cute eyelet trim.
And, my favorite part is the pocket. We found this vintage table runner at a local antique shop. I cut the sides off of the table runner which made two circles (because I made two aprons) and pieced it onto the front of the apron making a really cute pocket. Oh, I did add the yellow ric rac on before putting it onto the apron.
That's about it - it took me a lot longer than it did to tell you about it.
LOVE the fabric, especially the circles. It looks like it should be scrapbook paper!
Nice work.

So fun!! I'm sure they'll love them. Really great idea for the pocket.
Hope you have a happy Mother's Day too!

I love how you put those fabrics together. The trims and pocket are the best.
