Aprons

Since becoming friends and then buddies and now M&M, Marjorie and I often crack each other up with our similarities. Often I'm texting her "a great idea!" and my phone starts buzzing with a text from Marjorie with, "I just had a great idea!"  AND ... way too often, it's the same idea!

When I told her I had a couple of yards of some OLD Sunbonnet Sue fabric, she said, "I also have a couple of yards." Now ... I tried to convince her that there's NO way she had this same OLD fabric. She insisted she did. After a little digging - she had several yards, in fact, she had more than I did.

Seriously ... who has 5 yards of this fabric?! We do! I was not quite the fan of Sunbonnet Sue as my buddy, Marjorie. I called this fabric: Mushroom People. I'm becoming a convert.

When we're teaching, lecturing, doing demos, we both love wearing an apron with pockets. What the heck were we going to do with this fabric? Make (and wear) aprons, of course.

Don't you just LOVE our aprons?!! We've had several requests for pattern info. Unfortunately it's an OLD Simplicity pattern that is no longer available. I've found a couple of similar ones if you're interested in making a cross-back/no ties apron with POCKETS.

Here's a free pattern from Purl Soho for a cross-back apron you can make for yourself. And this one is a CrissCross Apron pattern.

Summer is flying, it's already mid-July, we've had our first hurricane event (just some rain and a bit of wind). We're still sewing and plotting ... stay tuned!

Keep Stitching, Mary
