Aprons! I’m making matching aprons for my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and 6 year old niece. I decided to use a brown denim to make a full apron and I’m accenting it with bright blue and green pears from a novelty cotton I had stashed away. As cute as half aprons are, I find that being short, I need more protection from the full size apron; I suspect my gift recipients will as well.

Love this book.
The aprons and bird recipe cards are all wonderful.
Baking is my favorite thing besides sewing!! Yea for combining the two!!
A child sized chef hat, will have to make some of those!
Very nice projects today!
Love the fabric choices today—the cherries & the forks fabric does make me want to make a kitchen project. Would love to see a future post on things made out of other towels, potholders & placemats—
OOh I love the bread bag!
those are such great aprons!!
and the list of must make projects continues to grow…
Oh! What a neat bread bag!
Thanks for the inspiration!
Oh, I love it all. The bread bag and the chef’s hat would be perfect gifts my sister and kids!!
I love the cut of the linen apron… so cute and retro looking!
Love all of these ideas!
Christmas gifts aplenty, have to get busy!!
Great ideas, once again!

AWW! That chef’s hat is too cute. I want it for meeee!
Get me to the kitchen- wonderfully fun ideas!
Oh, I love sugar cookies. Yum. When summer comes, I miss winter since it’s usually too hot to bake…
Lots of fun ideas! I think I may try the tea towel apron!
The child’s chef hat is definitely going on my to-make list. We’re making our 20 month old son a play kitchen for Christmas, so these kinds of accessories will definitely be in order…
Oh, that little chef’s hat is going on my to-do list!!!
Oooh, that book looks gorgeous!
I love giving baking goodies for X-mas. Last year I made up recipe cards of the cookie recipes I used and tied them up with ribbons and attached vintage cookie cutters to the ribbon ends.
this year will be homemade candy in a fabric basket.
Love the chef’s hat!
I wish I looked that chic in an apron.
My daughter and I love to bake together. Thanks for the great ideas!
I’m always looking for the perfect sugar cookie recipe!
I have been meaning to make myself an apron and am now inspired by the linen one.
I’ve seen some great tea towels that I’d love to make aprons out of. What a fab idea!
need to make a chef’s hat for my chef
That linen apron would be perfect with my Christmas ensemble.
I need to make that chefs hat for my four year old. My christmas sewing list is beginning to look frightening!!!
this month is just packed with great projects and it’s flying by!
I just found this site last night, and I’ve been spending all day in class pretending to pay attention while actually browsing through all the different ideas (don’t tell my professors). I can’t wait to try the apron in particular; it looks so sharp and professional.
Keep it up.
Amazing web site. Absolutely amazing
I love that linen apron!
Cool…Thanks again for the ideas
I just found your web site and am excited about the great ideas and patterns just in time for Christmas.
I see a chef’s hat and apron wrapped up under our tree this year!
I have been wanting to make an apron for my sister. This one works out perfectly!
Cute stuff!!
yay aprons everywhere!
Great apron! I can’t wait to make it. I love the yellow one too!
I’m loving the bread bag – what a great Christmas gift, especially when filled with a loaf of fresh bread!
I love the bag and placemats – so much patchworky goodness!
The bread bag is so pretty, and reminds me….has anyone tried the fabric baked potato bags that are popular at craft shows? Do they work?
I love this book. Maybe I’ll make something from it if I have the English instructions?
My goodness…my list gets longer & longer!! Thanks for all these great ideas!
