My Crazy Valentine Apron (and more) - Hugs and Kisses

 

Welcome to my day on the

 Hugs & Kisses Blog Hop.

 





 For this hop
everyone had 3 patterns to work with

that Soma from Whims and Fancies

and

Madame Samm from Sew We Quilt

designed.

THANK YOU

To these

Ladies.

 

These patterns are a blast to work with.

If you would like these paper piece patterns

they are available

 - Here at Etsy!

 -Here at Craftsy!

 ( all proceeds will be going to 2 charities)

This is what the patterns look like.

We could use one, two or  three of the above patterns  and create anything

 

With all the snow storms recently, I've needed some help at work

rescheduling appointments.

(I live over an hour away from work and when the roads are bad, I don't go)

Making a little thank you gift for the salon coordinator

was high on my priority list.

She loves aprons and really loved the
apron

I made for the

Christmas Party gift exchange.

 

 

It was time to make her

 My Crazy Valentine Apron

It's reversible!  A good girl, bad girl kind of thing....

 

 The back of the apron is pieced with

Alexander Henry pin-up fabric.

If you look too close
it may cause a little blushing...lol
 

The perfect Valentine's Day Present

for a single gal.

(and a sports nut)

 

 

Using the quilt block patterns by

Madame Samm

and Soma

for the front of the apron,

the pockets are the patterns

shrunk by 50%
(talk about some scrap busting with tiny pieces)

then

lined and adorned with ruffles.

 

 

Here she is

hamming it up with

with another stylist

 ready to get her baking on.

 

She can bake up some sweet treats for the girls at work *hint, hint

 

 

Next on my list of Valentines...

 

 

This one for me!!
In

My favorite colors!

 

Once again, I shrunk the patterns

50%

and scattered them with

the full sized patterns to make a

table runner with batiks.

 

 

The corners are embellished with

 heart shaped

 yo-yos and buttons.

 





 

The back -  I love the chevron batik

and used it for the binding also.

LOVE!
