Folklorico Aprons

One of my latest requests was to make a folklorico inspired apron which coordinated with this image of the Virgin of Guadelupe:

So I searched around for those lovely shades of green and peachy orange, found some I thought would work well, sewed yards and yards of ribbon onto yards and yards of ruffles, and this is the result. I didn't have a folklorico dancer handy so I pinned it up in the swirly motions mimicking the dancers to get the full effect. ;-)


Here it is un-pinned:



A close-up of some ruffles:



The waistband mimicks the border of leaves around the image:




I also made some matching half aprons for the littles in the house. :-)




It was fun to dream up! I hope she and the girls enjoy them.

The Alice Apron!

I had a request for an apron inspired by Alice in Wonderland. It was so much fun to dream up and to make, and it's (finally!) all done.













Here was the original sketch:



And the result:







The white over apron can actually be removed, there are buttons on the top (under the collar) and on the waist where it attaches, and this is how the apron looks without it.


The neck strap is adjustable, and also uses buttons.



This was a fun one, I hope she enjoys it!

Pink and Brown Toile Child Sized Aprons

Just finished a couple custom aprons for two little girls. :-)

Plus Sized Green Baker's Apron

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).

Apron Idea Realized...

Ta-da!






Only tricky thing about these is figuring out how to put it on with the criss cross straps, lol, but once it's on, I think it's pretty cute. :-) Also, having a pretty large bust, I needed to make sure I left enough room to be able to tie it under the bust as it's meant to be tied. But it wasn't difficult at all!

I will custom make these in your favorite color or print for $35.

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.
