Ladies and Gentleman...Elvis Presley!

I've been a very naughty blogger, but knee injuries acquired during hilarious attempts to exercise will cause such lapses. Before this silly little episode, however, I had a glorious return to sewing! I missed it! Never again will I neglect my machine or the beautiful piles of fabric I've accumulated. And to kick off this return, I felt it appropriate to use my Elvis fabric. A few aprons followed during my sewing frenzy. Here are the results.

My name is Tanya and I'm addicted to aprons and fabric



Aprons are my addiction that I never wish to kick. I wear them to cook and clean like everyone else, but I’ll wear them to run errands and grocery shop too. They dress up my t-shirt and jeans and make me feel a bit sassy. It’s like flaunting my domesticity and my fashion sense (Cute aprons only please) My wedding shower was a kitchy “Aprons and Pearls” theme and it was fantastic to see so many people get into the June Cleaver spirit of things.
Today’s shopping apron was the first one I made a few years ago. I pieced together scraps of fabric left over from other projects and voila! Sassy apron! Mother’s Day afforded me the excuse to splurge on fabric for more aprons.  My husband kindly refrained from asking how much everything cost, but there is no limit to the rewards he’ll get having his wife look and feel retro-tastic while making banana apricot muffins for the morning.
