Skipping along as I have been sewing today. I have been planning this follow up apron for a while. It takes a lot to muster up another design...not too different...not the same. Last week at the flea market I ran across a piece of embroidered linen that I just fell in love with. That is when it all came together.
The Pattern---"JUNE"
This feed sack apron came from an estate sale last year and I love all the simple design, but it needs a modern make-over. Here's my plan.
The Fabric---GINGHAM
Dark Pink Gingham--Windham Fabric
Spring Green Gingham---Windham Fabric
Vintage White Pillowcase with Crochet Trim
Vintage Embroidered Tablecloth
The Details--DELIGHTFUL
This is so dreamy. Each stitch just masterfully done. It has been sometime since I found such a bright piece of embroidery work.
The Beginning--BIB
With the design set on the diagonal I went to work piecing the bib front. I already have a crush on it. More mending tomorrow....I will keep you posted.

That embroidered piece is so charming and perfect for an apron. I'm happy to see it'll have a new life and not be stored away in a drawer. :-)
