Today I made one more apron — not for the shower, but for Judy, who is the PE teacher at my school. She wanted an apron for her mother, Rose, who just happens to love pink and yellow roses. Every year I’ve worked at that school, Judy has given me her delicious homemade raspberry jam (from her own raspberry bushes), so it was the least I could do to make her mom a little apron.
I found two vintage floral curtain scraps in my stash, one of which had pink and yellow roses. The pink and green batik with the vintage flower fabrics is sort of a weird combination, but I liked the way the colors looked together. The eyelet is from a huge (and super cheap) lot of vintage eyelet trim I purchased on Etsy. I have to admit that I really love making these aprons.
What a beautiful apron! Love the colour combinations!
You are really good at picking combinations and making each of these so different and special. This image is a great way to start off my morning. Judy’s mom will love it!
I have some small scraps of that rose floral! I love batik and it works so well with your vintage fabrics. I wish you could consult me as I attempt to transform 2 white lacy skirts into at least 4 aprons to be worn at our “tea” in February.
I never would have thought that batiks could go with vintage floral, but they look like they were made for each other – this is beautiful, Martha!
