In the Craft Room: The Ruffle Apron

Lucy was invited to a birthday party. And I had been at the store and totally forgot to get a present for it. And I've been on a saving money kick.

So put the two together and I came up with this lovely little Apron for the present. I call it the Ruffly Apron. Brilliant name, I know! :)

I measured Lucy to see how tall it would need to be (her and her friend Amy are the same age so I just used Lucy for measuring). I used scraps of fabric I had around the house and even an old shrunken t-shirt I had around - that's what gave me the cute little pocket!!

A closer up view of all the ruffles. I made it nice and girlie since Amy is a girlie girl!

Lucy informed me she needs one too. So I'll be making another one with a few variations this week!

Loved it, loved it, loved it. We had the grandparents over for supper last night, and Aimee was wearing her apron and everyone marveled. And I bragged I knew someone as smart as you.

I honestly want to find a white dress and have her wear the apron with it to church. It is perfect.

Oh that is so cute! That would just be fun to wear around the house and out in public - even if I'm not cooking. Love it!
