"Fiesta"

My
"Hot Mama Fiesta" apron is finished but I can't tell you who the luck lady is just yet. This is only my second apron swap sponsored by Valerie, who is a great hostess.
If you know me, you know that reading instructions are not my cup of tea. So when I made the body of the apron with its pocket and tie, I was so pleased with myself. Only took me a day at our last retreat. Then, when I came home, I got out the instructions and realized that not only did I need to make an apron but said apron had a theme. Eeeek! "Fiesta" was the objective.....oh dear, wooooooo is me, etc., etc., etc.! What to do, what to do?????? Make another apron, start all over......NOPE! I found a design that I really liked for the guy and drew a gaiter. Using loads of Steam-a-seam and lots of stitching, again.......Volia! I love this apron.

Doesn't surprise me. Didn't you say you had been a school teacher? We teachers (even if retired) are very resourceful. Of course, I'm not sure why you aren't one who reads directions.........that isn't quite in the "teacher mode".....LOL

Hi Rhonda!

Can I just say how glad I am that you didn't read the instructions? Otherwise this wonderful apron might never have been made! I seriously squealed when I opened the package this afternoon!

I LOVE IT! LOVE LOVE LOVE! You are an artist with fabric...I would never have thought to add that applique...it's perfect! I am completely thrilled with my new apron! (I'm wearing it right now! :)!

Thank you so so much!

Kellie
