i wasn't joking

halter holiday apron

I really am holiday obsessed. Here's a halter apron that emerged from the sewing machine today. The fabric is from Reprodepot, but I bought it way back in July, when I stocked up on creative supplies on a visit home to the states.

Speaking of which ... my fabric supply is dwindling. Time to start ordering enough to get me through the next six months. My dear, sweet mummy will be hauling a duffel-full of fabric, books, and patterns when we meet up this Christmas in Roatan, Honduras. Ever been? While I'm partial to snowy holidays, I can't complain. Plus, the whole lot of us will be there - Patrick's parent's and three siblings (one of whom is a Peace Corps volunteer in Honduras,) and my mom and dad. Nothing like killing two families with one stone. Hmm ... perhaps that idiom doesn't quite fit the bill? We are loving children. Really. :)

Posts will be short and sweet this coming week due to my parent-teacher conferences, but you will most certainly be hearing from me by Wednesday with your swap partner info! Swap entries close at midnight tonight.

xo,
Meg

i love that apron, you did a great job. We have been listening to christmas music here since haloween, and I think we will decorate for the holiday next week instead of after thanksgiving! I am glad to know someone else is in the same boat.
I hope you gets lots of good chocolate for christmas!

Fabulous apron! I'd love one like that.

I would buy a pattern for that apron! It's fantastic.

I have friends who lived in Roatan, they still have their home there, but have since moved back to the states. Small world!

I love that apron too! You did a great job and I hope you develop a pattern for it.

By the way, when I lived in Mexico I had a hard time getting fabric other than manta or cotton/poly blends which I wouldn't use. I was wondering if I could make a fabric donation to the load your mom is bringing to you? I'd love to send you some fabrics that I think you'd love.

Oh, I love that red and green together, and strangely I did not immediately think Christmas. My first thoughts were about how lovely and bright it was!

So did you make it up from muse inspiration, because now you have me inspired too... is it lined? I love it... I wish you could hold my hand and walk me through your process, but it is so lovely and inspiring I am willing to take a creative leap... any tips will be most welcome!

I have been wanting to make an apron but just couldn't find a pattern I LOVED...I hope you consider a tutorial or patter for sale for this beauty!

OH MY it is beautiful! Oddly enough I was looking at that same fabric at Reprodepot for an apron but I picked a Vintage Ornament fabric instead, waiting for it now.

ADORABLE pattern as well, wher is that? I usually make my own but that one is just way nicer than I could imagine. GREAT job!

Great looking apron and the fabric is really cute. Great idea to stock up because you probably wouldn't be able to find it now.

Berlinswhimsy said...
