Pertending I'm Scarlett O' Hara and Sarah's Special Apron


 I just thought I'd share a few pictures of the apron I made for Sarah over at Gypsy Mermaid.
You've all heard me talk about Sarah before.  She's such a sweetheart.  She had a certain kind of Apron/top in mind and gave me an idea of what she was looking for. Now I'm not a pattern maker by any means so when she said she loved it and it fit I was thrilled.  

I just added a few extra touches with some vintage table scarfs and doilies.





Made a few flowers and added a few buttons.  Buttons make everything better.


I like finding a way to upcycle old items into something totally different and new.  This fabric started out as a pair of drapes with a burlap band at the top.  I felt just like Scarlett O'Hara making this one.  Hee-hee.



I was already to do more creating last week but it wasn't to be.  Now my heads just stopped up and I'm very uncreative.

Hugs ya'll......Tracy :)

  1. That is the cutest apron I have ever seen! I'm not just saying that either! It is so stinkin' adorable. I don't even own an apron, but I would wear that one every day if I had it. :)
    Great job!

  5. Gone With the Wind is my all time favorite book. I am going to start thinking of you as Scarlett. That new apron is beautiful, as all your aprons are. I am bummed as all of our main floor is in one room as we are having the floors done this week and I really need to get to your apron that you gave me for Memorial Day! It is the epitome of summer!
