Apron Pattern!

Jeanne just sent me a photo of one of our new Shirt aprons. In the true spirit of "re-purposing" this apron is made out of one of her husband's shirts. She took the whole thing apart and was smart enough to figure out how to put it back together as a shirt. We have 2 versions so far-this yellow one and a blue one. The placket becomes the waistband, the back and tailes become the body of the apron, sleeves become ruffles...it's wonderful!

We will be making this apron pattern available for sale on our web site at the end of the month.

Full of love and hearts!

The "Care" Quilt is coming along nicely. Jeanne is working on the embroidery and we are continuing with our "make it quick and easy" theme! She has added fat hearts scattered across the blocks and little rosebuds that pick up one of the motifs in the fabric. I got a batting for it yesterday and should be at the basting point tonight or tomorrow.

We are also working on finishing up our new apron pattern. With everyone so focused on re-purposing things, we just had to dive in. Jeanne had the brilliant(if I do say so as her older sister!) idea of taking one of her husband's old shirts and cutting it up and turning it into an apron. Watch for a photo tomorrow-we finished the photo shoot yesterday and she is tweaking the pics as we speak. Throw in some rick rack, buttons, and whatever strikes your fancy and you have a great apron that really shows what creative minds can bring together out of your husband's side of the closet!
