Aprons

I love vintage pillow cases! I look for them at yard sales and thrift stores whenever I can. I love to see all the detail that others put into the embroidery and crocheted edgings- always so beautiful. I use them for as long as I can, but eventually they will rip or become discolored since they are already old and loved before I get them. But usually the edging decoration is still intact- so what to do with that?
I make aprons!

Half aprons with the vintage edging for the ruffle.

I can't imagine all the work this took to make. That's alot of love put into a pillowcase!

 

Isn't this beautiful? Whenever I get to use one of these pillow cases on my pillows, it makes me happy! Then when they become aprons I either sell them or give them for gifts for others to enjoy.

Have a Happy Thursday!

 

 

 

 

Finished Friday

Yay! I got 3 projects finished this week! I finished another t-shirt dress for my gd:

She really likes them with something on the t-shirt to match the skirt. I ran out of fabric on the other dress I posted yesterday...oh well.

I also finished the apron for my friend:

And I finished the 1930's quilt top!!

 

It always makes me feel good to finish projects- something to check off my list.

How about you? Are you a list maker too?

Have a great weekend!

WIP Wednesday

I can't believe it's been a whole week since I've posted! We're keeping busy here- having a yard sale this weekend and that takes a lot of work!
I have been doing some sewing though. I started an apron for a friend for her birthday:

And I cut out squares in preparation to make this next calendar quilt:

I've also been slowly quilting the veteran's quilt and adding rows to the 1930's quilt. And here is one of the finished t-shirt dresses for my granddaughter:

Cute kids, huh?!
