Holiday Treats

One of my favorite food blogs to visit is Our Best Bites. I mean check out the beautiful photos below of Holiday Treats...yummy! Not only are their pictures tasty, but their recipes are most scrumptious. So I haven't really been making all these holiday treats, but instead have been doing a little sewing related to baking that counts right? I whipped up two aprons as gifts for my sisters (not Leah the model) but the other two.

Christmas Cheer in Ruby Chandelier!

It's almost Christmas! Scissors, Ruby Red Chandelier fabric by Valorie Wells, a sewing machine, red thread, and the determination to make a skirt that spreads Holiday Cheer with each spinning twirl of my little girl.

In the Sewing Room + Girly Fabric

Hello, Erica here. Anytime my sweet little guy is in need of a present for a little girl, I pick the girliest fabric I can find, and start sewing something. The little apron above was for a little blond three year old Birthday. This the first apron I have made with a big chunky ruffle along the bottom, I normally add a smaller ruffle along the edges and a little pocket, both are cute. I used the ever darling Leann in Red and Kayla in Blush by Jennifer Paganelli...I think they are like two peas in a pod together. I used a fat quarter for the front and approx. a 1/2 yard for the back, ruffle and tie. I wouldn't mind having one in my size, perhaps my dinners might even taste a little better ;)

P.S. apparently girliest is not recognized as a word, but that's OK, I am pretty good at using words that don't really exist.
