What's for Dinner Apron, Left Overs Skirts (Giveaway)

Sunday, August 2, 2009

Here it is, my first giveaway. I was wandering around bloggy world the other day and happened to find The Apronista. She was gearing up for an apron giveaway and invited others to join in. I decided it might be fun to see who would be interested in one of my little creations. Here is the apron up for grabs. I used what I had left of Paula Prass' butterfly fabric mixed with some others from the stash. This is the "Cup Half Full" apron from Anna Maria Horner's book, "Seams to Me." Here is a detail shot of the pocket with lace.

When I saw this in my kitchen, I hesitated to let it go. Hopefully it will make someone happy. Leave me a comment. Tell me your favorite thing to make for dinner (besides reservations) or anything else you have on your mind. I'll pick a random winner. (Don't forget to give me a way to contact you.)

Check out the other aprons up for grabs here.



Enough about the apron, on to the skirt. I used Jona's pattern, the Evelyn Apron Skirt, from the wonderful Fabritopia. I love, love this pattern!!! The fabrics were all leftovers from this, this, and this. I love putting every last bit to use.

Here is a shot of the cute peek-a-boo border. The swan lace I was lucky enough to inherit from a friend that needed to reduce her stash of vintage fabrics and trims. Thanks Katy, you rock!

    I'd love to win your apron. I like the lace too. I wear aprons all the time. I love having extra pockets to carry things around. Plus I work at a bakery so the theme carries over at home. Thank you! I guess my favorite thing to make is pasta. If someone else is cooking, that's another story. :)

    Cute apron ... and the skirt is adorable, too. For dinner, I love to make homemade pizza ... and my family loves to eat it! If I win your pretty butterfly apron, I think I'll be forced to share it with my girls ... they'd flip over it LOL!

    Both are so sweet. I love, love, love the lace! What a great idea. I love anything Italian, Manicotti has to be my favorite thing to make because I'm literally counting down the minutes before I taste the amazing meld of cheesy goodness.

    Thanks for the giveaway. Check out my giveaway. Head 2 Toe)

    Great! Now I'm hungry! Lunch is two hours away!

    Don't worry, I make it!

    I love this apron! Although if it comes to our home I doubt I would get to wear it as butterflies and pink are my daughter's favorite and she loves to help in the kitchen.

    My favorite thing to make is spaghetti! I use my favorite sauce and it cooks all afternoon in the slow cooker.

    IF you want, the recipe is here:

    it is a never fail kind of thing and the leftovers freeze beautifully.

    Hi Courtney,
    You might inspire me to join apronista.
    As for dinner, tonight I'm making chicken enchilladas. Unless I find the recipe for lovers chicken. Then I'll make that instead.

    I love the butterfly apron. I know what you mean by not letting go of an apron. Aprons are like books, they become a part of you.
    Ciao for now,
    Arnnette

    I know what you mean about hating to "let it go." I had a hard time picking one of my vintage aprons for the giveaway, but it's awfully nice sharing with those who appreciate the gesture (and the work / love that goes into creating something by hand). My favorite dinner is grilled salmon -- with someone else cleaning the grill. Thanks for participating.
