In the Pink!

Now that I'm finished with my project for Outstanding Occasions I am ready to tackle my stash and replenish my stock because Mother's Day left my Etsy store a wee bit sparse. Before I just jump in and begin sewing I like to have a direction. Something has to inspire me enough to add it into the fabric of an apron (pun actually intended!) Sometimes I am inspired by everyday things that surround me or emotional things that impose themselves upon me.


So, the other day when I stepped into my studio I noticed something about my fabric stash; I had an uncommon amount of pink! That's easy! Make a pink apron and whittle away at the pink fabric stash. Just one problem...I wasn't really motivated by anything! Well, no sewing is happening here today; instead, I pick up my latest copy of Southern Living and decide to look for inspiration. There it was, a small blurb on p. 134, "Pink can be ultra sweet when paired with other pastels. But combine this shade with browns and neutrals and you'll have a sophistcated, grown-up palate."

That was all I needed, all of the sudden my stash of pink fabric reminded me less of Pepto Bismol and more of something chic. I was off to sew and the aprons and towels in this post are my results.
