I am loving aprons right now. The place that we are renting does not have a dishwasher (play your little violins here) so I decided that I needed to make myself some cute, fun aprons to wear while I'm washing dishes, cooking, and cleaning. I have been eyeing the above apron which is reversible and so flirty and cute. I know that the pattern has just recently been released but I didn't know where to get it. So, in my past two trips to Willcox I made some from an old pattern from the '70's that my mom had given me and one from a pattern my mom had. I wish the "model" in my pics was as cute and thin as in the pictures above but I don't have access to such models and such models would drown in my aprons. So, I had to go with the only amateur plus-sized model I could find..................and with the only amateur photographer I could find.......... with her sister's old 2.0 mega pixel camera. So, imagine the possibilities..........
I found my fun fabrics at Alco in Willcox. I loved this pink flowered fabric matched with the pink striped fabric.
And, I always love a good blue/brown combo. These are the '70's aprons. The straps cross in the back and button over the shoulders. You can't see that in these pics but they're different and fun and I love the one huge pocket on the side.
Hopefully my domestic duties will be much more inviting now that I have some cute aprons to look forward to!

Very cute aprons! Let me know if they make domestic duties more inviting, if they do I might need a few.
Where did you get the site for the other two. Those are so dang cute. I made myself a valentine one and got some dang cute material at the walmart here and need to make somemore but I love this pattern and want to make some. I love aprons to and love how cute they have gotten!!! Your turned out so cute. you go girl. good job!!!
Love the aprons! I keep threatening that I am going to teach myself how to sew(with the sewing machine Ryan bought me for Christmas, still in box) and that I am going to make lots of aprons. For now though, I need to just clean my house.
So yes, you are an absolute domestic goddess. I have seen a ton of cute aprons as well lately, and it makes me think, If I cooked-buying one of those would be a good idea. But I don't so I would have to use it for crafts or something like that. I would also like the girls figure in the apron. Hope all is well for you in Mexico. Lot's of love, amy
Your aprons are so cute! I'm so jealous that you get to do fun projects with Mom. Jerks! :) Oh, and WHY aren't there pics of your new hair on your blog? You stinker!
Did Suzi say "new hair"? You will have to post some pictures now that the word is out.
I love your aprons. When Gus and I get done with all our reading I'll finally be able to do some sewing again.
Where did you get the pictures of those aprons? I HAVE TO HAVE ONE!
There's a link on my blog for This N That boutique. That's where I got the pics for that reversible apron. The only place I found to purchase the pattern was on Etsy and it says they are all sold out. I am so bummed!!!
so so cute...you've inspired me! I've been wanting a project, this is perfect. I had a pattern that a friend gave me in Boston...where did I put that...
I keep checking your blog since we talked...for the new hair pictures! Even if you aren't happy with it yet. You should still show it. I finally clicked to leave you a comment and I see that I am not the only one that wants to see. So come on! The suspense is killin' me! ;-)
