Skeleton Halloween Apron

I was saving this black apron for a special reason.  I just didn't know what the reason was until I saw a Skeleton Halloween Apron.  Fortunately I had some skeleton bone patterns lying around.  A little felt and some iron on adhesive and I have my own Skeleton Halloween Apron.  Happy Baking.

Aprons continued

Here is a photo of the other apron I made using that great tutorial at Sew Much 2 Luv. Check out the pattern here.

Fall Prep - Halloween Apron

Fall is big, huge in my house. Not for the whole family, just for me. I love it. I love the colors, the decorations, and the cool weather. I also love all the fun events: visits to the pumpkin patch, Halloween carnivals, candles, getting to use the fireplace for the first time. I decided to start my preparations early with some cute sewing ideas. First up is a Halloween Apron. The pattern is from Sew Much 2 Luv. This blogger loves aprons and she has an amazing free tutorial. I loved it so much I made two. I will post the other one soon.

I love aprons. I wear one every morning to cover my work clothes while I get breakfast ready. And I wear one every night when I make dinner and do dishes. I am tall and for some reason when I cook or clean everything hits me in the middle. Aprons give me the perfect coverage. I also love that this apron has pockets. Because, when I go through my house and find stray pieces of Lego, scraps of paper, or other lost items I can stuff them in my apron pockets. This would make a great holiday or hostess gift.

Jean Quilts

My parents came in this weekend and my Mom brought the boys these amazing quilts that she made them. They are made out of old jeans. Jeans that used to be mine, my sisters, and my dads.

The boys were very excited to get something with their names on it. The quilts even have jean pockets on them.

The back of the quilt is red with a cute baseball print in the center.

What a great gift from grandma. Thanks Mom!

And I just had to show off this super cute apron I received as a Mother's Day Gift. It is from Anthropology and has ruffles and a pocket. Love it.

Halloween

I love fall. I love the cold weather, the change of colors, and best of all Halloween. Every year I buy a couple of new decorations to add to my Halloween collection. Costumes are planned out months in advance. This year I decided to add an apron to my collection. Debbie Mum has adorable patterns and designs. I picked up this pattern at Joann's. I dug out the overlock sewing machine (which had not been used in years) and stitched this up in an afternoon. I love aprons and I didn't have any seasonal ones. Since this was so easy I can't wait to see what patterns come out around the holidays.
