Scalloped


Those are the cutest shoes ever.  That sweet crease in his pants...I swoon. I will never tire of these vintage images. It has been a life long love affair I treasure.


As long as we are talking about vintage (and when are we not?) you might remember I picked up this really cute Happy Birthday apron last month at the Flea Market. I had my motives.


Fabric courtesy the lovely Imagimeri. Double scallops are the latest trend. Right?


My favorite pocket style adorned with a vintage button.


 As much as I love paper patterns using the real thing makes it just as easy. It is my preferred method. I start by drawing it out on freezer paper and then I can iron the pattern onto my fabric. A beautiful remake that is on to its forever kitchen home.

  14. Hey pretty lady,

    Sorry I've been AWOL, but I just had to say that that's one of the cutest aprons I've seen. I'm so glad you found a use for the fabric. There shall be more goodies coming in the near future. My husband, whose been gone for the past 5 weeks in the Philippines, is finally coming home today....I'm beside myself with excitement. Neither of us can stand being apart so long, but I guess you gotta' do, what you gotta' do for some sort of income. Anyhoo, thanks for the shout out you lovely friend.

    Big Hugs and Love,
    Meri

  20. Oh,my...oh,my! What a darling apron, Renee! I love the scallops...and your choice of fabrics! I will have to visit Imageri's blog! I can never see or have too many aprons! They are my very favorite vintage treasure! I am donating an apron to our church's Mother's Day Tea Silent Auction and you have inspired me!
