Daily Spice

Are these girls cute or what?

They are modeling the latest in apron apparel
here at Quilt Taffy.

This was my first attempt at an actual bodice and actual interfacing.
It was like I was really sewing something other than a quilt.
Indeed there was not a rotary cutter in the room while I worked.
This is a new concept for me.



I loved the look of this Heather Bailey, Daily Spice Apron.
I found her instructions to be very thorough.
I would not consider myself a sewing novice,
but I did think even Corrie would be able to figure it out. ;)
AND she did.

I've made a few aprons in my day and
I really like the modern look of this one.
The bodice and skirt are a little more work
but who wants to shy away from work??
Oh, let me rephrase.........more time but
that's what makes it spicy!



A note on the sizes:
I made 3 others besides these and at first I worried
a bit about the sizing of it. "Oh, are they an 8 or a 14??"
But I found that the small size fit everyone on my list!
So go figure.
Also, on the 3 others that I made
(i know, obnoxious that I don't have pictures)
I used the lining fabric choice on the front band to add some contrast.
I didn't think that creatively on these two.


Corrie made the cute pink damask apron out of Santorini.
Which by the way, I'm LOVING this line. I know I'm always late to the party.

My festive kitchen apron is made with Lizzy Dish.
There are a few others that would make great combos as well.


So as Heather states, for that
"come hither while I bake us some cookies" look.....
this one is fun for women of all ages!
