Sometimes it surprises me how superficial I am. The dumbest little things can motivate me. For instance, my new project: a vintage "church ladies" apron that makes me feel like a sassy domestic diva.
My house (and life) was in massive disarray after last week's bout with being bedridden. Okay, I can't blame it on the illness because the house has been that way for months. It bothers me a little, but I deal with it.
Then on Tuesday, I finally found the time and energy to start a new project, the apron of my housewifely dreams. Once I started, I neglected just about everything else to finish sewing it (yes, including my children). Despite my friend's promise that it would take only an hour or so to make the apron, I was up until almost midnight. But it was worth every minute! Isn't it darling?
And now, every time I put it on, I channel my inner June Cleaver. Wow, amazing dinner and clean kitchen three nights in a row? Toys sorted and put away neatly? Fresh homemade cinnamon swirl bread (low-fat and low-sugar)? Floor mopped? Thank you, Apron of Action.
You can be expecting our new action figure, apron-wearing SuperMom, in stores in time for Christmas. Vacuum and homemade bread sold separately.

It looks so cute! I can't wait to see it for real. I agree with you on how "domestic" these aprons can make you feel. I LOVE mine. But I must confess the motivation for cooking that it gave me when I first put it on has since disappeared dramaticaly! Maybe I will start wearing it just for looks.
um, where do I place my order? that is the cutest thing ever. I've been contemplating an apron upgrade for some time now. The old baskin robbins standby is not so motivating. :)
That is a cute apron. I think I need one. My forest green one that was made for a 6' 5" man doesn't seem to do the trick. I'm sure I would wear it way too often and my daughter would begin thinking that I wore the same clothes every day. :)
That is a darling apron! You know we MUST be related because I'm currently making one for me! I hope it has the same effects and that I turn into a domestic diva with dinner made and a clean house every night. Hahaha, who am I kidding? Oh well. Yours did turn out really cute! I love it.
Christy!! IT looks divine! I love it! I'm sorry it took you awhile, I hope you copied the pattern because they get easier the more you do... I promise! I love the material! I have made one for everyone else but me, you motivate me! Maybe my house will be clean if I just had a cute apron of my own! :)
