Groovy Cafe Aprons

Finally a new post! I know what you are saying! Sorry it has been a bit. These things take time something of which I seem to have less and less. Also, I finally have two new aprons finished. I designed and pieced these together while I was on my little adventure but did not actually sew them until today. All the elements have to be right before I sew you know. These are my groovy cafe aprons. I spotted the beads first which gave me inspiration and then looked for material to match. I placed 70's music in the CD player, turned it up loud and went to work. I think they turned out great!
I photographed these on my mannequin and while you can see the design and style great on this size 2 dummy, you really cannot get a good feel for the length and cut. Big I helped me by taking some shots of these cuties on my more voluptuous hips. Cafe aprons are supposed to be worn low. This is my favorite style and I feel quite sassy when wearing one. So eat your vegetables and do not make me whack your knuckles with the back of my wooden spoon.


These two aprons are for sale for $20.00 each. I am placing them here first to allow my readers first shot. If you are interested, e-mail me. I'll leave them up for a couple of weeks and then put them on Etsy. Even if you are not interested in purchasing one, at least leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Your opinion is valuable to me. Big C's girlfriend stopped by last evening and had a little fit over them. I can just see college girls waitressing in these can't you?
Thanks for reading, Rosie.

PRECIOUS!!!!! You have a knack for picking out fabrics! I love love love my red apron----I bought a headset mic to attach to my phone and I put the phone in the pocket of my apron and have both hands free to chat and do stuff like unload the dishwasher, etc! (It also makes me have the urge to ask people "do you want fries with that"?)

CUTE aprons! (and voluptuous hips are an asset, baby!)
Love,
Snow

These are adorable, Rosie. I just haven't got the confidence to create my own pattern. I'm so jealous.
