I just recently finished my apron for the Tie One On May/June pocket theme. I seem to have a pink and brown thing going on as of late. LOVE those colors. I love chocolate brown with pretty much any color combination, really. So, here it is. I was determined to use fabric from my "stash" to make this and was so happy to come across these two fabrics in there. It's almost like Christmas sometimes when going through there and seeing all the "goodies" that sometimes get forgotten from mind when not seen for a little while. Once I saw the combination together, the design started to take form and, since I also have a bird thing too lately, seemed just right to have a bird/egg theme to this apron. The bird being the pocket and the egg a just-for-fun accent. I am pretty happy with the way it turned out, I think. I actually decided to hand stitch the entire apron. I have really been into hand stitching more recently. Well, the last two years is more like it. It happen to come about this time with the apron simply due to not being able to locate my chocolate or pink thread with all the other spools when it came time to sewing it all together.(amazingly enough they decided to come out of hinding conveniently once the apron was finished) So, being that I had the emroidery floss on hand, in just the colors I was needing, it became a hand-stitching project! I am happy with it though and it was a lot of fun during the whole process. Can't wait to see all the other great aprons from all those creative people out there!
