Since my blog was occupied for the month of February, I have some catching up to do.
This was Barry’s Valentine’s day present. He loves coming home to a yummy dinner and often comments that I need an apron to go with my domiesticity. When Meg published this pattern I knew it would fit the bill! I tried to work on it as a surprise, but when my best sewing time happens at night, well, he knew it was coming. We still had a fun Valentine’s day. We just had soup and grilled cheese (because I spent the day sewing this apron!!), but the kids made us a restraunt– set the table with a table cloth and fancy napkins, took our orders (for soup and grilled cheese, of course) and served us while they ate at the kid table in the other room.
It is so hard to buy presents for my husband. The things that he wants but doesn’t have are too tricky for me to buy. I just do not have mountain bike part expertise. I have come to accept that fact. Anyway, all he really wants doesn’t really cost me any money. Just being happy and forgetting the sewing machine, book to be read, blogs to surf, etc. etc. after the kids go to bed. Focus on him, and all us right with the world.
Good excuse to make an apron? I think so!

Those are so cute. Nothing like a good husband and kids that take orders.

I love your interperetation of this apron! I just checked out your still life project and it is absolutely beautiful–nice work!! And though I think they’re cheesey, I give my husband gift cards to his favorite music store. They’re always a hit and he gets something he really wants for his drum set (but won’t necessarily buy for himself).

Ooooh, you have the Emmeline pattern!!! I tried to justify buying the pattern when I first saw it, but I just couldn’t. Besides, it was sold out. Do they have new ones in stock? John laughed when he saw me obsessing over the pattern. I just have to believe that dinner tastes better when it’s been cooked in a cute, flattering apron, don’t you?
