I FINISHED!! i saw this apron in my head exactly the way it looks.
i worked feverishly on it yesterday and today because i just couldn't wait to see it finished.
i sketched it out, but the idea was vivid in my head and i made it... may sound silly, but i am shocked, elated, inspired, and ecstatic!
like jumping out of my skin ecstatic!
even learned how to make french knots yesterday (i had no idea they were that easy)
i am loving the raw canvas embroidered bird on the pocket and the lace, did you see the lace piece i was coveting...isn't this lace magnificent. Thank you dawn for sharing it with me, it is the perfect compliment to this piece.
i called my mom to tell her about it and she came right over to see..we shared a moment. it was awesome!
so it may sound boastful (hell, i know it does), but i am just so flippin' excited about my new apron. i am going to try and make a couple versions of this playing around with more patterned fabrics and trims. i am hoping to teach this as an all day workshop (at least that was how the idea started). as i work on the other apron samples i will share the results...but right now my head is reeling over all the possibilities...like holiday presents and gift ideas.
ok i gotta stop i have company coming over for a fun bar-b-que, but i had to share.
now i have to clean up the mess that was left in the aftermath!
