Aprons...I am still addicted... Bastille Day at the d'En (the Don!)!!

First is a dress that I made for myself, nothing too special really, but it turned out well so I was happy! Here are two new aprons that I made, One for myself in a flurry of excitement about my new imagined style, which I love! It is much cooler to wear and covers more of your belly so it stops bench spillage more effectively! The second one was for Bastille day which we celebrated at the d'Entrecasteaux Hotel in Howden Tas (www.dentrecasteaux.com). The Consuming Passions man (Ian Palmerton) was there, a childhood hero! And we had lovely crepes :)

Here comes the fancy stuff

My friend's Mum jokingly asked me to make her a white frilly apron with a satin ribbon, lace and d'Entrecasteaux embroidered across the front, and so I did. I took her joke as a challenge I suppose and taught myself to embroider, well at least I taught myself to do more than backstitch... after lots of hand sewing, for the words and when the machine wasn't gentle enough for the frills, it was finished, whoopie!
