The New Girls

Here they are fresh from my Etsy shop The Courtney and The Ann.

The Courtney is a mix of sweet and sparkle that you just have to love.  The fabric is a light pink soft fabric with a printed flower design.  The Flowers are accented with a darker pink embroidery design and sequins.  The ties are a pretty white satin ribbon and the skirt is finished off with an iridescent pink disc hem.  I love the sound this apron makes as you swish around... makes me wish I was having a party.

The Ann is a little more sophisticated with a crisp white waist band up against a beautiful orange and blue pattern by Amy Butler.  The hem is finished off with a nice white ric rac trim and white satin ribbon for the ties.  Would be great for a home PTA meeting or some such event when you want to look your capable best.  This is the final piece of Amy Butler fabric I picked up from Crafty Planet, hope you guys come back again this year!

 

More Aprons Abound

Here they today's aprons for your viewing and shopping pleasure, The Cheryl and The Lucy.

The Cheryl is both sassy and sophisticated in a ivory/orange polka dot fabric by Amy Butler.  This is another fabric that I picked up at the Craft Planet booth at the DUCF this fall.

The Lucy is a super sweet seersucker fabric with lavender and white gingham pattern accented with flower embroidery.  It is finished off with delicate ribbon ties.  This apron is so ready for spring!  It would be so cute worn for your easter feast.   

Sweet New Aprons Revealed

Day 2 of apron week, everyday this week I will up-date my Etsy shop with 2 new aprons.  Keep checking back to see the up-dates.  Today's aprons revealed are The Jane and The Elle.  

The Jane apron is made from an Amy Butler fabric that I picked up last November from the Crafty Planet booth at the DUCF.  I coveted this fabric all year long and had to pick it up as soon as I saw it at the booth!  I think it turned into a lovely little apron.

The Elle apron is a super soft white and yellow swiss dot fabric finished off with a vibrant yellow ruffle hem and striped ribbon ties.  I think this apron is kind of sweet and sporty at the same time, it makes me want to go play some tennis.

I hope you like the new aprons and stay tuned for tomorrow's aprons revealed, The Violet and The Cheryl.

 

It's All Coming Together

Everything is starting to come together I have my new business cards (48hourprint.com is awesome), I have my new fabric tags and about 13 aprons in various forms of completion.  As you can see my dining room is in somewhat of a state of chaos... aprons everywhere. 

I plan to post 2 aprons a day to my Etsy shop until they are all finally posted.  The first two aprons went up today, The Mary and Little Red.

Sick Days

They just can't be avoided when you have a small child in daycare it seems.  The little germ factory hit us all pretty hard over the weekend but with a little time off and rest the whole family is back on track for recovery now and it's back to work!

Over the weekend and with much excitement I sold 3 aprons from my Etsy shop bringing my sales total up over the 20 mark!  I am so excited :)  

With my wealth of sales this weekend it brought my apron inventory way down  (only 1 left) and come to think about it Christmas wiped me out of all my travel bag inventory.  

So I have been hard at work drafting new ideas for aprons.  I already have 5 aprons started and they are all so cute!  (in my humble opinion)  I am working on finishing them as far as I can until the new fabric labels I ordered from Jennifer's Jewels come in the mail.

I also have a fun idea for some totally decked out over the top fancy aprons that would be great for entertaining.  Coming up with sketches now, figuring out fabrics how to do the construction.  I am so excited I cant wait to get started!

Once I get the apron stardust out of my eyes I am going to start on the bags again.  I love the travel bag and I received some new sewing books at Christmas that had some great bag designs I want to try.
