I thought I'd show you some aprons I've made and sold on ebay. I love making them. They are easy and I use them also. I make aprons with shabby roses fabric on most of them. One has some strawberries and I gave that one away to a lady who let me "borrow" some of her pictures. They all have pockets and are generally pink and chic, some have lace and all have a ruffle. Theses are truly one of a kind. However, the one I use most of the time to cook and craft is the very last one below. You'll be surprised.
This one is made with Kaffee Fassett fabric. I love his designs and fabrics for the vividness of the patterns and flowers. Just gorgeous fabric.
This one is an out-of-print Cyrus Clark. I have very little left of it and I hoard it. It's very hard to find if you can find it at all!
I think this is my favorite flowered one out of all the ones I've made so far. This sold very quickly on ebay. Pink ticking at the bottom and a very desirable rose fabric on top.
Yep, my favorite one. An old butcher's apron I bought at a yard sale for 25¢! It was brand new and very long. I had to cut off about a foot and with that I made pockets. It isn't dirty; it just has paint and glitter glue all over it. It also wraps around me pretty well. I've never heard of a butcher shop or store around her called "Art's" but he sure had great canvas aprons that last through a lot of cooking and crafting!
OMG! What is your ebay name? My birthday is coming up next month and I must tell everyone I know that I am putting one of your lovely pink rose aprons on my wish list.
ReplyDeleteYour tallent is beyond words my dear. Each new thing I see that you make is better then the next.
Now hurry and tell me where I can find these aprons.
Hugs,
Joanne

Connie, I love all your aprons you have made to sell.
ReplyDeleteYour everyday one you wear to craft in is a beauty and looks very well worn. I wear an apron everyday when I work in the studio and now have several - all for different jobs; painting, crafting, sewing, cake making etc. It really saves your clothes.

I love your aprons, Connie! I've been wanting to try my hand at making some aprons also, but haven't gotten to that yet. With your fabric collection, you could probably make aprons forever!! I'll have to go check them out on ebay. You sure know how to keep yourself entertained!! What fun you must have every day!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are incredible. I didn't know that you made these. I was just listening to a podcast by Alison Lee of Craftcast and she was talking about how there is an apron restoration going on. With aprons as pretty as these, I would wear them just because they are pretty. I bet you could design some fabulous aprons for artists to wear in their studios!!!!!! You could put a paintbrush in the pocket.
ReplyDeleteI love your style.
Happy Pink Saturday,
karen

Your aprons are gorgeous Connie! I can't pick a favorite because I love them all! Happy Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful apron collection. I don't think I would want to wear any of them to cook in for fear that I would spill something on them. Happy Pink Day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday Connie! Love all the shabby aprons :-) Thanks so much for the blogging tutorial on your sidebar. I always wondered how to do so many of the things mentioned :-)
ReplyDeleteGone are the days of aprons. I just put on blue jeans and old top and cook or bake. But I remember using aprons. It kept my clothes from getting all spotted with flour, sugar, and even dish soap. Your aprons are amazing!
