I asked my public library if they would buy a copy of "Oliver + S Little Things to Sew" by Liesl Gibson. And they did! I was flipping through it and just loved the vintage feel to the "Bias-Trimmed Apron" (page 36.)
I thought it would be another perfect project for some of "My Happy Place" silkscreen test prints! I used my hand printed fabric for the pockets. The apron itself is made of utility cloth with store bought red gingham bias tape edging. This apron isn't for sale; it's for my daughter Penny!
She helped me plant a Lemon Balm and some strawberries this afternoon and I snapped some pictures.
I had a very hard time self editing because she is so darn cute!
I hope you don't mind...there is still one more...
She IS cute, Amy! I really like the apron on her. It's cuter than the one in the book.
ReplyDeleteCute apron! And super cute little model!!
ReplyDeleteWay cute - thanks for the pics. I just got this book for Mother's day and love seeing a finished project from this. I may just have to make that one first!
ReplyDeleteAh-dorable! I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw this blog post title, I was surprised, because you're not usually the "cute" type...but when I saw the pictures, it made sense. The apron is very cute, but Penny in the apron is super cute!!! I'm glad you included a lot of pictures because they are delightful to see!
ReplyDeleteOh wow is that adorable or what!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I don't which is cuter!! her or the apron.hah.ah.a.ha.a.a..LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteThis new screen print is amazing! I think you are on your way to be a fabric designer!
ReplyDeleteThe apron is adorable! Penny is adorable! Aaaa! Definitely too much cuteness!
ReplyDeleteBoth are precious! Another beautiful handmade item from you!
ReplyDeleteOooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Super sweet, I love this, but it reminds me of all the work I don't have time to do in the garden.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute Amy! Both are absolutely adorable!!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute pictures! So, Amy...would you recommend purchasing this book? I have considered it quite often, but since I hadn't seen it in person, couldnt' make a decision. Is My Happy Place almost ready to order??
ReplyDeleteoh man! i would have gone nuts with the camera too! the apron is so sweet (as is the model) and just perfect for these gardening tasks!
ReplyDeleteWho could take too many pictures of such cuteness!!!
ReplyDeleteGosh Amy, that cuteness is gonna last me all week! I love the apron and the coverage is perfect for Penny's gardening days. I also wanted to say what a good idea it is to encourage people to ask their public libraries to purchase crafting books. My guild gives our 3 local libraries $200 each per year for such purchases but I bet it is rarely all used up.
ReplyDeletetoooooooo cute.
ReplyDeleteNEVER enough cuteness!! She is so darling in her apron, boots, and sun hat!! I must check my library...I just got Wee Wonderfuls from them, I am so excited...love the little mermaid in the book!! Your Happy Place print is fabulous!!! I have enjoyed looking at all the awesome ways you are using it!! :)
ReplyDeleteShe couldn't look any lovelier! The apron is great. I've already commented on flickr but now that I've read that the little house fabric is your doing I must comment again! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! she is precious! I love the apron! But I think Penny makes it so much cuter!
