The heat of the summer is here in sunny North Carolina again so its time to retreat to my sewing machine again!
So, here's what I have been working on lately:
I made my first half apron from chocolate covered strawberries fabric. I was pleased with how it turned out and plan to make more. I have in mind ways to make different versions of this apron. I made my first bibbed apron last winter.
Here is the pattern I used: Half Apron Pattern I made the apron a little longer and the ties longer than the pattern, for a little more coverage on my size frame.
My thanks go to The Longest Year Blog!

More clothespin bags:
I'm still going to work on the hobo pocketbook pattern I showed you last week. I worked on it in my mind a hundred times, just got to make it a reality!

I love all the fabrics and of course, you do beautiful work!
Very cheerful and pretty stuff! I was reminded of your clothespin bag tutorial the other day when I was hanging all of my loads of laundry on the line. I made a bag a few years ago, totally off the top of my head. It works but not oh that great. I need to make me a new one!
Have a great day!

I love the apron! I am an apron kind of girl and I have several that I wear. Just love the fabric you use, too.
There is no end to great ideas once one has got the knack of a sewing machine. You've done some great stuff!
