| Debris and scraps |
Sometimes I feel my workspace looks like a natural disaster came through. Perhaps it did. The whirlwind of pattern cutting, fabric scraps flying around the room, landing in hap-hazard piles - colorful stacked uncut fabrics, layers of apron skirts, waistbands and ties. Finished pieces for the next aprons lie next to each other as we sew each apron in turn. Team sisters + mom, dedicated, chip away at the mound of pre-cut fabric. Stitch and snip and iron and sew, repeat. Unique pairings of the fabric make the whole process a party. Each apron has its own personality, and I can’t wait to meet the next one. The demure Victorian floral print with her sweet cream pocket and ties is followed by a spunky multi-colored pattern and bold orange with no-nonsense white pinstripes. The abstract green pocket pops on the cherry flecked gingham, and makes me think of baking pies rather than cookies. Mmmm, cookies. Speaking of those: check back in soon for Nonnie’s no-hassle, step-by-step, guide-to-perfection confection chocolate chip cookies.
