One Yard Apron

Lori Holt has the cutest apron pattern, it's called  "one yard apron."

Lori's daughter Kassidy is featured on the pattern cover.

Here is the apron I made, when the pattern first came out.

Not the best photo, sorry about that.

I love the extra large pom pom trim!

It's such a flattering apron, with its wide waistband, too.
I wrote a post about it over six years ago, you can see it here.

This is another one yard apron, I received it at Christmas one year from a dear friend.

I'm going to a Lori Holt retreat this week, I am so excited!

My friend Natalie is flying in from California to go with me.

Lori requested that we all make a one yard apron

 for an apron exchange.

I made this one from Lori's line, "Gracie Girl".

It's hard to notice, but I added the cutest ruffled ric rac trim.

Well wish me luck, I'm in for a week of fun and inspiration.

I'll post photos next week of my retreat adventures :)

One Yard Apron

I made a One Yard Apron, the instructions are by Lori Holt.  Instead of adding two pockets in the front, I added a continuous pocket piece with I divided into four. I made it for my daughter in law who has just become a second grade teacher :) 

Here's a close up of the fabric, alphabet letters and instructions on how to make a pillowcase.  I thought the children would enjoy reading the words. I wonder what she's going to put in all those pockets!

I've made this pattern before, I really like it.  You can see the others I've made here.

See you on Thursday for the Jolly Bar 4 QAL.

One Yard Apron

This is one of my favorite apron patterns!

I decided to make one of my own.

I love the jumbo pom poms!

Do you think I'd get any looks if I wore my apron to the grocery store?  I love the different prints of the wide waistband and the tie, matching the different prints on the pocket.

I really like the wide bow tie at the back, very vintage :)

The apron is really easy, quick and fun to make!

Look What I Won!!!

I love to read other people's blogs.  When I find an interesting one, I follow it.  Blogs give me ideas, including  lots of inspiration.  I sometimes enter giveaways, and have won a couple of things lately :)  I was reading the Vintage Trailer Lady's blog.  She had a yard of some really pretty fabric,  and asked what project she could use it for.  The suggestion she liked the best, would win a fat quarter bundle.

You could make a one yard apron. Use the cute western print as the skirt and use a contrasting print (like red polka dot) for the waistband and pockets. Then trim the skirt and pockets with jumbo pom poms :) Can you picture it?

She said she loved the idea, and this wonderful bundle came in the mail:  The 5 fat quarters came in a cellophane envelope, tied with ribbon and raffia.

There was a really cute tag under the ribbon.

Yes, it did feel like my birthday :)  

I spread out the fat quarters so you could see the colors and the prints.  Aren't they cute?  Very retro.  Thank you Vintage Trailer Lady!

Every week, Randi at I Have to Say has a fat l/8 Tuesday. All you have to do is leave a comment, and you could win one of her fat l/8th bundles.  I was the lucky recipient!!!  Mine are called "beachy" colors.

Randi even included a little button pin, the silhouettes could be me and Kennedy :)

Randi runs a great shop on Etsy called Fresh Squeezed Fabrics.

Randi also has a monthly sew along on her blog.  I have a board for it on my Pinterest  called Randi's Sew Alongs.

Thank you so much for creating such an interesting blog :)
