A Hostess Apron For… ME!

Sometimes I find that I get so excited about making things for other people that I completely forget about / ignore / don’t leave time for making nice things for myself as well. Take the hostess aprons I made at Christmas, for example. I made a half dozen for other people, but found that I “ran out of time” to make one for me. Boo! Luckily, after Christmas I found some more cute fat squares and I got to scheming…

Of course, with the craziness of raising two young boys and the three weeks of having visitors in January, it’s taken me until now to actually get to it, but who’s counting? 😉 I started by playing with the various fat squares I found, folding them into their approximate possible sizes and placing them in different positions until I found a design that I really like. Once I decided on everything, then I cut them out and sewed them together as per the directions on my previous post.

I think this side turned out to be my favourite…

…but this one is terribly cute too. Yay – lucky me!

Then I wanted to get some photos of me actually wearing the apron – so you all could see what they look like “on” a person instead of a floor. Of course, with a curious two-year-old roaming the house, the photo shoot didn’t go exactly as planned…

We got several of these photos before I decided to just give in…

Say “cheeeeese”… Now. Go watch some television.

Clearly, “Poko” on the TV didn’t distract him enough…

…so I finally sent him downstairs with his brother. Whew!

Anyhow! I am LOVING my new apron!!! It makes me feel cute and girlie and fun – and has inspired to cook something yummy! (Or at least have a glass of wine and pretend to cook…) Have any of you tried to make one for yourself yet? I would love to see it! Lalala. Yay, me!
