I'm joining in today on Andrea's What you Create Blog Party!
I LOVE to sew and just don't have as much time for it as I used to, plus I love swaps! I thought I'd share an oldie today with you that I made in my very first swap back in 2008 when I first started blogging...
It was a Wizard of Oz swap and I made this for my partner...
My first full length apron ever!
It was a tremendous amount of work, but I was so pleased with how it turned out!
I stitched "Close your eyes and tap your heels together three times and think to yourself, there's no place like home" on the apron ties!
I then wanted to complete the Dorothy ensemble in how I packaged it up...
Swaps are so much fun on both sides, the creating in our craft rooms
and the receiving of a box full of goodies on the other!
I hope to visit you in your craft room as we spread the creations in this blog party!

Looks like you are ready for whatever comes your way -- even a picnic :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Suzie!
ReplyDeleteAwesome apron and what a clever way to send it!! I am always in awe of how creative people are with their swaps and I so admire people who can sew . . . if it's a straight stitch, I'm okay, LOL, anything beyond that, forget it!!
Thank you for stopping by!
Have a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDeleteCute apron...and what a creative idea putting it in a basket! Lucky swap partner!
ReplyDeleteI love the apron. I am late getting mine up too. I just did at 11:30 this morning. I was thinking it is tomorrow. *sigh :) I hope you can stop over and see what I create too. Again, the apron is sweet and so is the basket.
ReplyDeleteSuzie,
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable apron! I would have been so happy to receive that!
We were up late, too. Hope you will have a chance to stop over.
