May Apron Giveaway

Posted on May 7, 2014July 28, 2015 by Martha

Hopefully some you of like pink, because the May apron, which was made from a vintage embroidered linen tablecloth, is very pink. Because I wanted to utilize as much of the tablecloth as possible, I constructed the apron front with two pieces, which means I have enough fabric left for another apron. I didn’t realize I had positioned those flowers right over the boobs until I put the apron on the dress form for photos.

This linen is heavyish, but I lined the bodice and neck pieces anyway just to give them a little more structure. The bias trim is made with a geometric print that I thought looked nice with the cross-stitching, and there’s a bit of vintage rick-rack inserted in the front seam. The ties are grosgrain ribbons.

The monthly apron giveaway will run for the rest of this year (and maybe longer), and I’ll try to post the apron in the beginning of the month.

THERE ARE TWO RULES:

I must know you — meaning you are a reader/commenter on my blog (and not just for previous giveaways).

You have not already won an apron in the monthly apron giveaway (if you’ve won an apron before this year, you can still enter).

If you would like to enter to win the May apron, please let me know by leaving a comment. The winner will be announced on Sunday evening, May 11, at 5:00 pm PDT.

    I love that pink apron, what a clever idea to re-use an older tablecloth! I’m not much of a commenter, but I do follow your blog through Bloglovin’. 🙂

    OMG…the apron is absolutely stunning! Whoever wins it will be VERY lucky.

    I’ve been following and reading your blog for I don’t know how long…probably as long as I’ve been blogging myself.

    Wow Martha how generous are you! And what a beautiful apron.
    We had a stallholder at our recent quilt show who makes dresses and tops out of recycled linens. Just beautiful.
    I’d love to win this one but that would mean I didn’t get to enter for any of the others which I know will be just as beautiful.
    What a dilemma! Enter me anyway,please.

    I love this one! I have been a long time follower,not sure how much I have commented. I loved your peacock embroidery posts as my daughter raises peacocks. I have enjoyed your coloring book embroidery posts and they have inspired me to pick up some coloring books to do some embroidery as well. I bought one with Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer to make a quilt for my husband, someday! LOL Thanks for the inspiration!!!

    This apron is totally wonderful! This is one of the most beautiful aprons I’ve ever seen. Love how you have centered the sections! I like how you have given life to things that might otherwise linger in a cabinet and go unappreciated. I love these special pieces!

    It is a lovely apron. It reminds me of the Sunday evenings when I was a child. We went over to my aunt and uncles house. My aunt sat and embroidered tablecloths and tea towels and my uncle picked the meat out of pecans. No TV! But I always felt safe and loved those nights.
