Since i have decided to try to turn my home in to a romantic, I have been paying more attention to floral fabric and vintage patterns. One day I had a Brilliant idea to make vintage looking aprons! I went out bought a few yards of adorable fabric , had tons of ideas of how to make the aprons, and I got distracted with life and my daughters ester outfit! Eventually I got to the fabric.
My moms birthday was lats week and I thought of the best gift for her. A VINTAGE LOOKING APRON!! It was completely my design, and i had a few mess ups , but it turned out adorable. It is in pictures below (Modeled by my lovely friend Jen).
A good friend of mine graduated college this week and I had thought about making her some candies, or hair flowers , but i wanted to make her something she could really use. I recently learned how to make a charlie bag and decided that was the perfect gift! Since i had fabric (that was supposed to be for aprons) all i needed was patients and time. :) Two hours later it was done. I loved it so much I almost kept it!!
Finally after all the gift making I wanted something vintage and floral for me too!! I came across a laptop sleeve on http://www.burdastyle.com/ (which is also where the charlie bag came from). It is simple yet useful. I had a Yard left of floral fabric and really needed a sleeve for my laptop. It only took an hour and I love it!
I do hope to make some more aprons, just have to get more fabric! I still have some ideas for half and well as full aprons. I think you should look fancy while your making dinner for family, friends, or even just yourself. sometimes though it is nice to create something totally different with what you have then what was originally thought.
Keep on creating romantically. -Mj
I LOVE my Charlie bag! :) I used it just the other day when I spilled soda all over my purse. Thankfully it did not hit my Charlie bag and I was able to transfer everything into it. :) Thanks a million. What great gifts you have made for me!!! :) :) xoxox
