Halloween. So I thought it would be fun to do a little creative count down on the good old blog. A creative project a day. Think I can pull it off? On my own...no. But I have a super creative Mom and Sister who are just as obsessive about holiday's as I am. Hopefully you'll get some good idea's but if not you'll at least get to see some fun Halloween stuff and hopefully some good photography.
So project number one. Aprons.
We thought it would be fun to have a cute apron to wear for all the holiday baking we do around here. And I have to say by we I mean, I picked out the fabric and my Mom made them, because, well I can't sew. But if I could I would have made one of these.
Actually, as far as sewing goes these are really very simple. Choose three fabric ( I think we bought a 1/4 of a yard of each)and three trims. I picked black and white so I could use it for other occasions and my Mom bought some cute vintage inspired Halloween fabric.
She sewed around the edges and gathered the top of each. Then sewed them all onto a piece of white cotton. She added grosgrain ribbon on the top to be able to tie it on! Simple and really cute.
A-dorable, fun to get some cute fabric and make that.
