Spring Apron


I did some sewing last week. Smashley's birthday was Saturday and I wanted to make her an apron.


I tend to gravitate towards very bright colors, and Smashley prefers pastels, so I had to really focus when I was in the fabric store. I was walking around the store chanting "Smashley likes pastels" in order to keep my focus.

She tends to use pink and green the most, so I think I kept my focus, even though the pink is a rather bright pink.


She looks happy with it, doesn't she? Not to mention that she's dang cute in that apron. Work it Smash!


This is my favorite apron pattern because it's reversible. It's Mary Mulari's Church Ladies' Apron Pattern, if you're interested. I found it at my local Porter's Craft store, but you can also find it online here. It's relatively easy to make too.

Happy Birthday, Smashley!

  4. Oh, c'mon Y'all. You know I can't carry a tune to save my life, I'm a clutz, I have absolutely no fashion sense and I ate my willpower. Is that enough, or shall I go on?
