Vogart Fruit Pattern For Custom Apron
Just a quick update on this project today:
I completed the stitching last night during the ballgame. I just love these old patterns! So next week, I'll take a day and sew it into the apron.
I didn't have time to start on my bird purse:
I'll begin stitching on this later today.
I was asked awhile back about how and when to sew lace and trim on. Well, normally, I sew it on after the block is pieced. I simply decide what I want to use, open the seam, tuck the lace or trim in and close the seam with a couple of blind stitches. The fancy stitches will hold it in place.
On occasion, I sew the lace in when I piece the block. That's what I did with the bird block. I knew when I pieced it that I wanted to use the aqua blue lace so I did it when I was sewing.
I'm off to Richmond to take my Ocean Garden Cellphone Pouch to my showcase.
Have a great day everyone! See ya tomorrow!

Vintage Style Apron Embroidery
I didn't quite finish the stitching on this last night:
I expect to complete this later today and then next week, I'll take a day and sew the apron together.
For some reason, I prefer to sew during the day. It's probably the natural daylight that makes me feel more comfortable with sewing. I prefer to work on the computer during the day as well. Now for stitching, I can do that anytime!
When I finish stitching up the fruit design, I'll be starting on my next crazy quilt purse project:
Again I'll be using one of my vintage pins from my flea market trip last weekend. I love this little birdie and I love the way he looks on this block. My plan is to give this a very vintage look but sometimes, the block takes over and just tells me what it wants. Many times, they just turn out however they turn out. It's a "go with the flow thing" for me. There are some pieces that although I have a plan for them, I'm not completely set on it having to turn out that way. So stop by again to see what direction this takes!

Vintage Style Apron - Custom Order
I mentioned the other day that I received an order for a custom Vintage style apron. I'll be starting on this today so I thought you would like to see the patterns and fabric that I'll be using:
The transfer is from a Vogart pattern. I never cut or iron on my transfer designs. I traced them onto my fabric using a lightbox that my dad made for me and a washout blue pen. My fruit design is already traced onto my fabric so I'll be pulling thread colors shortly and stitching on the design later today. Once the stitched piece is done, I'll assemble it on my machine. Stay tuned.....
