The Saturday after Christmas I sat down and couldn't get out of the chair for half the day. It's my version of jet lag - a post sewing frenzy coma - and my body was not going to cooperate until it had a chance to rest. Half a day and a cup of green tea put me back on my feet. I have yet to sit at my sewing machine since finishing that last apron but I've orders to full and promised I would get to them after the new year.
What an exciting experience was my sewing-approach to the holidays. I had custom orders to fill and was constantly sewing to keep up with what was selling off the racks. Because I had absolutely no idea of what to except demand-wise from the two craft fairs my daughter and I participated in, I sewed every opportunity I had in order to feel reasonably ready for an unknown demand. I did all right in that department, though of course could have done more. Now I can take a break and no longer be concerned about back stock but sew to fill the space left by a sale.
Thank you to all who admire, buy and wear my aprons. I am grateful and humbled that I have been able to create something that appeals to others.
Happy New Year to all.

Hi Jinger, this is Hilary. I was wondering how do i buy or order one?
I would like my apron to be a bright, hot pink/bubble gum pink. I like the 40's type apron but i was thinking the straps on the top to be like the chef apron (go around the back of my neck) maybe? And sew on heart pockets.
I can do that. Would you like your fabric to have other colors involved or something with a subtle design that doesn't distract from the main color - hot pink/bubblegum pink?
i think that the plain color alone will be good but if u want u can show me other fabrics if u want? take a photo with ur phone if u can and send it to me? but that's just an idea...u don't really have to. :)
When I go fabric shopping I'll see what I can find and send you photos of what I see. If you can respond quickly I can buy it while I'm in the store. If not, I'll can use my judgment and buy something I think will work and we can take it from there.
