Well, I feel like I'm seriously missing my personal goal of 2 posts per week. It's not that I'm not doing stuff, but I haven't had many pictures to show you. And I guess this has basically become a "show and tell" blog...which is a good thing, I think.
Anyway, I did sew this apron for use on Thanksgiving. It's the Flirty Skirty pattern from The Apron Lady.
Of course, I did change it up a little bit. First I made it reversible, then I tweeked the pockets a little.
My intent was to have the 2 sides be completely different to fit my schizo style moods. But in the end I was limited by what fabric I had on hand and the fact that I wanted the strap/ties to compliment both patterns. So the two I choose have similar colors, but they at least they have very different "personalities".

Very cute!

I like the different personalities of both sides! I love the accent fabric you used for the neck and waist sashing. Great style too! What a fun project.

That is cute! I have the fabric picked out for a reversible apron too. I'm running into the same problem with it. Wanting it to be different but needing the sashing to match. Your's looks great as always.
I'm hosting a little giveaway that ends tomorrow night if you are interested . . .

I've been so busy that I haven't had time to check out your blog since mid November. Mustn't do that again. The apron is fantastic, your table setting and Thanksgiving decorating are gorgeous and the stack and whack is stunning. I have never seen a stack and whack that I thought was as cool as that one is!! Seriously!!! I am going back to look at it again. And the kiddies are cute, too!

Jessica, I left this comment earlier and just discovered that someone else has a very similar blog name to mine! Yikes! Looks like mine was started first but I'll have to do some checking.

There are so many cute apron patterns out there, this may be a new fave for me, though! Thanks for posting it!
