What I Made This Weekend

 I made this for a high school friend's bridal shower this weekend.

I used an apron I made last year as a pattern reference, and found the cute fabric in the "red tag" section of Joann's (have I mentioned how much I looooove clearance sections?).

I probably should have written down and taken pictures of how to make it, since it was so easy, but I procrastinated was pressed for time and didn't want to complicate it more than needed. Next time.

 Here it is all bundled up, and ready for the blushing bride.

I mentioned earlier that I never free-hand anything. Well I lied. I guess I do freehand some sewing projects. I am forever grateful for my mom sticking me in years and years of sewing classes growing up because I hate patterns. My mom probably thought I hated the classes, but I would always get so hung up on the pinning and cutting part of the project. It took so much time, and most of the projects I am willing to sew are simple enough to create as you go. So I guess I do free-hand somethings, just not very often, and not very complicated.

 

For the record: 22 weeks along and every growing.

 (this is not my picture) I bought this cute porcelain egg carton at Joann's a few weeks ago because the color matches my bedroom perfectly and I needed a "catch-all" for my earring studs, rings, and hoop earrings that don't fit on my jewelry frame. Everything stays so organized and I looooove the uniqueness of its shape. (Maybe that's why I love clearance, you can always find the most unique things there.)
