I had to make a little something for Maria, Natalie's daughter ( of Chicken Blog) to celebrate their new chicks: Lola, Betty and Pipi.
I am so happy and excited for her because I know it really made her happy to gets some more chickens to raise.
I get to pretend that they are my chicks when I go visit her blog and see how much they are growing.
I stole borrowed one of her photos and printed it out on fabric and stitched it to the front of this cute little scalloped edge apron.
The pattern is by Katie Organ of The Paisley Pincushion on Ebay. I would provide a link to eBay ( but many months from now when it doesn't work anymore I will have to keep finding a new link, so please, ) if you are interested in Katie's patterns (and she has a bunch of really cute ones for aprons and jackets and night gowns) go to ebay and search for The Paisley Pincushion or here is the link to her website which also sells the patterns.
The apron pattern came with sizes from doll to mama and I want to make them all!
I did change it just a bit by adding a ruffle at the bottom and lining it also. and the applique is all calamity.
The pattern has really nice hidden pockets and I think it will be great as Maria grows up.
I am trying to get Debra S's smock done and Jennifer Infinity Monkeys done and Smoochie lips finished too.
It feels good to finish up long harbored projects.
But for today I finished this and another small wee one for Molly, Amy Lyon's daughter. It was a good day sewing.
Here is Molly's apron
I made it with some Guess How Much I love you bunny fabric and tulle in the bottom under the scallop hem.It is pink and happy and sweet, just like her! I can't wait to see pictures with them wearing these little aprons.
Tomorrow- More Aprons and then Thursday- some paper roses! Ya'll come back when you get time!
Love & Stitches,
Calamity Kim
