It has been far to long since I have posted. Please excuse my absence as I was knee deep in holiday clutter and tissues. While the cold is still lingering the turkey that my relative sent home has been long expired...thankfully. I did steal away some time to sew. Here is just a small project I have been perfecting for sometime.
During the summer I found this bright and beautiful tea towel.
White linen and rick rack paired beautifully.
Just a touch of red needle work.
A vintage utility apron. To always have your supplies handy. Four roomy pockets fully lined and seamed to hold your hearts content of handiwork. Long generous strings to wrap around and secure on any waist. I worked hard to combine both a utility style apron and a vendor apron and kept it vintage as well.
Once again I want to thank you all for such wonderful support and sweet comments.
This is the last giveaway for the one year blogiversary. You have until Friday, December 2nd at noon to leave a comment for a chance to win.

I just sent you an email with some special pictures of Josie wearing your apron. The apron pocket is perfect for holding candy canes. Don't include my name in the drawing, just know how much we appreciate your beautiful aprons. Your latest creation is gorgeous. I'm completely smitten with the redwork.
Is that cute or what?! So glad to hear that you are on the mend. Your sewing is so beautiful!
That turned out super adorable and that needle had some magic in it despite the cold. I love the big polka dot tie. You have done it once again!
Oh Me Oh MY!!!! This is SUPER CUTE and I WOULD LOVE LOVE LOVE to win!!! Love your Happy Apple in the background... I have had mine since I was little.. I Love it...
Yay! I can finally comment!!! I love your apron. It is in my favorite colors! I love to sew. I need to make one like this for the gal who cleans our church. The other day she kept losing everything while cleaning! Hope your cold goes far, far away!
Oh how sweet this apron is! I love the pockets because I am forever losing items I set down while creating/baking! Fabulous colors and the fact that you crafted it makes it all the more special! Wang you a wonderful holiday season!
I love your apron. The needlework is lovely.
What a sweet and pretty apron. It is definitely very "vintage". I love the choice of colors, you matched it all just right. The tea towel, the polkas dots and ric-rac looked really good, but the addition of the pretty red embroidery made it just right! Glad you made time to enjoy yourself sewing. What a wonderful give away.
Blessings,
Susie
Renee, this is sew sweet! You have the most unique technique when it comes to vintage sewing! Thanks for stopping by my blog, Marilyn

What a darling apron!! I love that it is a "utility" type apron. My nana had one she called her "egg gathering" apron. This one reminds me of that.
Glad you are on the mend!! LOL!

I've visited your blog every day for at least the last 6 months. You are always making something that I drool over...and this apron is drool-worthy as well. I can see me now wearing it at my craft shows! Please count me in.
Adorable! I could have used that during my garage sale a few weeks ago! Hope you're feeling better now!
I am loving this! And that chubby red bird is a perfect addition. You have inspired me to spend the rest of my birthday afternoon at my local antique mall looking for fun things!
