Sewing Project

My first hurdle in becoming more "homemade" was a birthday party invite for our neighbor's little girl.  Rory and the little girl play together quite a bit and we have become great friends with this family.  We both are "not from the area" so we end up doing things together.  I racked my brain on what to get a 2 year old little girl for a birthday present but was coming up with very little.  Her family is moving at the end of the year so I didn't want to buy a bulky toy that would not move well and clothes didn't seem like a good option since the climate here does not match where they are going.  I wanted to get something special that would mean more than a toy or outfit.

Then it hit me!  Her mom and I took a sewing class earlier this year and we made aprons.  It fits in perfect with my "homemade lifestyle" journey.  So, if her Mom has an apron then she needs one to match!!  Perfect, right?!? 

I made my own pattern out of tissue paper and purchased fabric to match her Moms.  What do you think?




Rory was a willing model so here is what it looks like on...


I asked Rory if he would like one and he said "yes" but promptly said "airplanes on it."  Lemons just don't fit his style!
