Some Mini-Me Aprons

The children's half aprons below were made to accompany a Springtime Pink and Green Regency Inspired apron like this one:

Grapevine Apron

And finally, the grapevine apron is finished. I was actually a tad worried about the purple print I'd picked to go with it, this one:



I thought it might be a little too light (and it looks even lighter in that pic, lol), but I really love the combo, more than I thought I would actually! I think it turned out well.






I used a nice deep plum color for the lining, which you can see here:



And yeah, I just had to make a matching card for this one too...

Yellow, Blue, and Green Paisley Apron

It's done!

Here's a closeup of the pocket so you can see the paisley. The yellow/white fabric is the same that was used for the Citrus Apron.







It was lined with yellow gingham, here's a closeup:





Edited to add:

While surfing Etsy I was absolutely inspired by some adorable fabric-covered notecards I saw!! So I made a matching one to send with this apron (as it was a gift).

"Regency Inspired" Aprons

I've been touching up my design for my regency inspired aprons here and there, and in the process I made several which are now for sale! The first adjustment was to add pockets, one on each side.

In my first apron, I actually sewed the criss-cross straps to the waist, and the ties were sewn on separately, so it wasn't very adjustable.

Then I realized I could make it more adjustable by simply having the criss cross straps go through a buttonhole on the waist, and then tie. That's how this one is done:


Blue and Yellow Floral/Gingham 1

(Because this was still an "experimental phase" apron that has buttonholes instead of D-rings, I'm reducing the price to $25.)














A closeup of the fabric, it's a bit hard to see but the gingham is blue and yellow:





I thought the buttonhole was good, but then I decided to simply sew a D ring on each side for the straps to go through, which I thought gave it a nicer finish. The rest are all using D rings.



Blue and Yellow Floral/Gingham 2 - SOLD


















Springtime Pink and Green - SOLD

All of these (but the first, which is $25) are $35 each, plus shipping. Email me at mllevaleur(at)hotmail(dot)com if interested! I'm also willing to do customized aprons, if any of these spark a different idea or color scheme you'd like!

UPDATE: Most of the ones listed above have been sold now, but keep an eye on my Etsy Shop for more coming soon!

Some Reversible Skirts

Took me long enough to get to these! They're finally done, a matching set for Mom and daughter.











The mini version is also reversible, I just didn't take any pics of it reversed.

Mini-Me Citrus Apron

Citrus Apron

Here's the latest commission, a full reversible apron in citrus colors.
