Apron for the flirty apron swap.....











One down, one to go.....this swap is cool cause it has a theme that is a little bit different. 'what I did on my summer vacation", the fantasy version....my partner was vague and she doesn't know who has her name so I feel fairly safe posting her apron on here. I used seahorse fabric as the body and gave her a vacation in the Bahama's...Hope she likes snorkeling, I sure do. I also made her a lavender filled snippet doll with a ribbon to hang it. If it isn't her kind of thing, she can hang it in her closet or put it in a lingerie drawer. A potholder, a couple shells for her apron pocket and a recipe card and she is set. I like this apron pattern cause you can take the bib off too...it has three buttons on the inside that hold it on. The pattern is called " queen Anne's Apron" by Vanilla House. The flower is my add on just cause I like making them and in this case it is a sea star...use your imagination I guess...It is going in the mail tomorrow.

Oh, and to post on the Flirty Apron Swap blog you need to be an author. I sent you an invitation on 8/22 but maybe it went to your spam/bulk folder. I just sent another invitation. Accept it and then it and then the FAS blog will show up on your blogger dashboard and you post like normal!

This is great! I really like the colour combos that you chose-- and the altered recipe is so fun -- great idea! I have the fabrics and goodies all ready to go for mine -- but I have to make a halloween apron first......

I agree that when the going gets tough, then go make aprons. Sewing is second nature for me so it lowers my stress.
