Outstanding Proposition

I love a good project. As a matter of fact my husband and I have tackled (and survived) some pretty big projects. One that comes to mind is gutting and redoing two bathrooms in a 50 year old house. Even better was when we refinished 50 year old wood floors - one room at a time! All that to say, I am not afraid to take on something abstract; I even find it a bit exhilerating!

When Heather from Outstanding Occasions in Phoenix emailed me about making a few aprons for her business, I was thrilled. It wasn't like I was without aprons to sew; I have a pretty big stash of fabric that eagerly awaits. The appeal comes from trying to take someone's vision and turn it into a reality. The picture below of the cute striped aprons was Outstanding Occasions' vision. Through numerous emails and a phone call I was able to see what it was they wanted and how to apply that to the three fabrics that they sent me.


This is my interpretation.


And these are all of the finished aprons!

So, another fun project is completed; however, this time I didn't get beaned by a crow bar nor did my husband get his head stuck between two studs. All in all, I'm calling this project a success!
