My very favorite time of the year is Fall. I love everything about it...the crisp mornings and sunny daytime, the leaves of the trees turn brilliant shades that only God could have created, there are pumpkins round and fat in gorgeous shades of orange. It is a time of harvest and thankfulness. Did I mention I LOVE Fall!
You may have noticed on my sidebar the Sassy Apron Swap icon. Lucy is holding an apron swap for each season and we have now come to the swap that I most anticipate: the Fall Sassy Apron. Lucy's requirements for this swap is a handmade apron incorporating a fall theme, must be a full apron that would cover "all our bits" when we are baking our pies for thanksgiving, and we are also to include a handmade pot holder to coordinate with our apron as well as a recipe for our favorite pie.
This is the apron I made and sent to my secret Fall sassy apron swap partner. I hope she'll like it! I couldn't resist this pumpkin fabric with the contrasting orange fabric. The flounce and off angled pockets with big black buttons was just the look I thought would be perfect for a fall apron. I used a McCalls "retro" pattern. Each of the views were fun and sassy. This will definitely be a pattern that I'll enjoy using again.
I'm eagerly awaiting my fall sassy apron from my secret partner. I'll post the apron she sends to me when I receive it. These swaps have been so much fun. We've swapped handmade aprons with theme over the entire globe.
Next swap will be the Winter Sassy Apron swap and Lucy knows I'll be first on the list to sign up. :)
Cheers!
Ok I love this apron - this is my favorite time of year too Jennifer and I am waiting to see the first change of leaves !!! I can't wait!! Come on Fall!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your apron! It has pizazz.
ReplyDeleteI also love the fall. As a child, I always looked forward to going back to school, and my birthday is in September.
As a newly retired teacher, I'm looking forward to not going back to school. LOL. But I still love the weather and the colors of autumn.
Good heavens, girl! This is a KNOCKOUT apron! You've been quite the busy seamstress, haven't you? I love the angled part around the neckline and the "skirt" around the bottom hem. Very, very beautiful work, Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteWell done! It's very fabulous! I love the corner on the top and on the pocket! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJennifer! This is absolutely GORGEOUS! Wow! Your apron partner is going to be thrilled. You are one super talented lady!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this apron...what a terrific design!
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous apron! I love it! The angle and the button are so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool apron, I love fall to.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, this is beautiful! Fantastic job darling...you must have "spruced" before starting.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing. I love the fall colors too. What a fun pattern. I was lucky enough to find a few vintage apron patterns in my treasure hunting last week. A couple are in my etsy shop, but I'm thinking the others may have to stay and live with me.
ReplyDeleteLove the flounce to the apron! While I had a fantastic summer, I am happy to see that Fall is here once again.
