Suzy Homemaker...kind of

Have you ever seen the aprons at Anthropologie? I know I sound a little obsessed with the store, and that would probably be an accurate read, but really, have you seen the aprons? They always have the cutest selection with sweet little details.

The price, well...it's a little spendy for something you wear with the intention of getting dirty. The other problem is that I would want an apron that matched my kitchen, kitchenette and dining room. A girl has to look good wherever she might be going, right? My solution, get out the sewing machine!I wanted the sweet little details too, so I added some ric-rac. You can't go wrong with ric-rac.Here is a close up of the pocket so you can see the individual slots for cooking utensils, paintbrushes, gardening tools or whatever. Did I mention this will also match my garden?

  1. Really, really cute, Sis! Good work. Sure don't know where you got your Suzy Homemaker skills, but glad you picked them up somewhere.

  2. The only thing that would have made this post any better would be if you would have picked up one of those giant knives and held it up in the air for your photo. I'm just sayin.

    Love your apron, you rock! Will someone please teach me how to sew already? I have a sewing machine and everything!

    P.S. Your mom should know you got those sewing skills from Grandma, like duh.

  3. I would like to place my order for one with yellow accents. Maybe some red thrown in as well. A side business perhaps?

    PS Did you use a pattern or just wing it?

  5. You should totally sell those on Etsy. So cute! It reminds me of a Vera Bradley pattern! I wish I knew how to sew...

    I don't even own an apron!!!:)

  7. You are ridiculous. And I love it. That sounds like something I would do! Pier One also has some really adorable aprons (and a little more reasonably priced) for those of us who can't even sew a button. (That would be me.) The apron is beyond adorable--good work!

  9. Too cute! Did you get your linens from Lill? I heard they are selling those now. It looks like a Lill pattern, and I know how much you love that store! :)
