Four Little Girls Aprons hangin' from the tree ~

Finished three little girls aprons, have another almost finished, so I'll add it later.

Yes, I haven't done very much sewing this winter ~ we've moved to another province and I have to use my dining room for sewing ~ thus, not much sewing was accomplished.

I am also working with a "new" old Singer sewing machine and it seems to love the oil.  It's pretty high maintenance.

I will be experimenting with different spots to take photos as well...

( Wondering if the girls little playhouse will be conducive for photos)
 Purple flowers apron in size 1-3 littlest girl size.
Size 1-3
It features 2 adjustment buttons at the neck and a tie waist.  It is fully lined and has a dainty lace hem ~ $15


Size 3-5
A "sister" apron ~ I made 2 aprons with only slight differences.  Both have a 2 button adjustable neck strap and a high waist band tie.  They both have a delicate lace hem.

Size 1-3 and size 3-5 aprons.
Perfect for sisters, friends or cousins!

Size comparison

 Purple Pinwheels size 2-5 girls ~ $15

 Purple Poppies Girls size 2-5 apron ~ $15
Same style as above, slight various in width of bib apron.  Fully lined, full long adjustable shoulder-to-waist.

Mennonite Girls Can Cook Celebrations




No, you don't need to be Mennonite to enjoy these recipes!  I have the first book and love it.  It even has Gluten Free options as well as healthier versions to all that creamy goodness that we Mennonites are known for.

Click on the above link to go to my associates page.  If you complete an order while still linked through my page, I will receive a small commission.  My commission goes to local adoptive families.

Thank you!

My first table runner

I love doing something for the first time ~ when I finally work up the nerve to do it!

Taking the scissors to this retro fabric was hard to do, but I dove in and was very pleased with the results.  So many times I just don't get things done because I fear they won't be perfectly what I had in mind.  It's especially hard when you want to give it to someone.  Sometimes I just have to do it and see what happens.

So this is meant to look a bit like a window.  It was for a friend who enjoys retro like me!


 I made it reversible, as sometimes this friend has red curtains in her kitchen and sometimes green.

 The little hearts are also genuinely old and added a fun little touch.
Now that one is done, I had saved a little bit of the same fabric for a small one for me...off to the sewing machine!
