Ruffles and Dots

 You can tell I'm on a bit of a "ruffle roll" with my sewing.
I think it's such a pretty trend and, so far, I haven't seen anyone who can't look cute wearing them.
So I went through my fabric stash, gritted my teeth and pulled out some of the fabrics that I love so much that I wouldn't cut into them before.  If you sew you know what I mean.  You're waiting for something really special to make with those fabrics and they make you happy every time you look at them.  You might be surprised that neither of these beauties are predominantly red. I'm a little surprised myself. I do love lots of colors you know, I just love red more.
So I grabbed the daughters, tied one on each of them and the photo session began.







One of them is a little more of a ham in front of the camera:>) Love them both to the moon and back.

So which is your favorite? (The aprons, not the daughters, we don't play favorites around here!)

You can find them now in the shop.

    I know just what you mean about that "special" fabric. It ends up collecting dust waiting on that "special" project. Love the dots!

    I am so in love with ruffles!! These aprons are absolutely adorable (and so well modeled!) - they are more than worthy of your special fabric!! It's a hard call as to favorites, but I'm gonna say brown edges it out just slightly for me, but I desperately love all things cupcake, so it's a tough call :o)

    Happy to see you making pretties - I hope you're having fun...it sure looks like it!

    Enjoy the rest of your week friend!
    Hugs & Blessings,
    Becky

    The whole concept is adorable! I'm not a fan of pink, unless it's from Mother Nature...so I prefer the other one.

    Both of them are adorable! Love the ruffles. I've never seen a lightning bug in my entire life. We've planned a trip to Illinois this Oct. Will they still be around then? I so hope so. Your back porch is fabulous. The buntings are wonderful. Mimi

    I'm new to your blog!! I'm currently in an apron swap and your post caught my eye for a design idea. Now I'm hooked and will have to become a follower! I love pink but for some reason the brown tips the scale for me on this one. I am going to steal your apron design...hope you won't mind. I too love ruffles!! Would love it if you came for a visit at my little blog. http://grandmamasstories.blogspot.com
