Today is double post Tuesday
so you get two for one. The first thing I want to share with you is the great
news about my new blog, it is now completed and I have already written my first
post which went live last week on January 23.
You can access my new blog by clicking on the button marked Create*Upcycle*Decorate*Organize
on the right side of my page which is right below the Pinterest button. Everything on that side of my blog page is a
link to the symbol shown; like my Pinterest boards, the link to Where I Sew with
Pink Chalk studios and the story I wrote for Coats & Clark 200th
Anniversary. I am totally in love with my new blog page and the fantastic work
my Graphic Artist, Jolene Burt, did on both pages, she is fantastic! Anyway, hop on over and check it out!!! The
new blog will show all my projects for anything I create which are not sewn on
a sewing machine. Buttons, Bows &
Bling will remain a sewing blog for clothing, toys, quilts and home décor items,
like pillows, drapes, etc… For those of you who get this blog notification by
email you will have to go to my new blog and sign up for email there to keep
getting all my new projects which I will post on that sight; basically you have
to sign up for email on both if you want to see what I am creating.
Now for the second post of
the day, today’s post is a juicy orange apron, I made from one of my patterns,
to wear while teaching sewing classes. I
fell in love with this fabric but I had no idea what I would use it for, I adore
fabrics with sewing themes on them and this had that going for it with all the
cute measuring tapes and polka dots.
Because I wanted to wear the
apron while sewing and teaching I felt it needed lots of useful pockets for
scissors, measuring tapes, tailors chalk, pins and all the rest. One small
pocket was added to the top for my glasses and one long pocket divided into
four sections was added along the bottom width for my sewing notions, making it
easy for quick access.
I added some retro 60’s
orange pom poms, from my stash, to the top and bottom of the apron and some
jumbo orange rick rack to give it a little more retro flare; you know how much
I love my retro accessories on aprons. I lined the apron in a complimentary
fabric to give it enough body so the pockets would not sag when I placed my
heavy cutting shears in them. This was a really fun apron to make and wear
since it is so bright and cheery.
Thanks for letting me share
the fantastic news about my new blog and my cheery orange sewing apron. There
are still more aprons to share with you on this blog and lots of fun new posts
on the new blog. I am working on
organizing my small office space with pretty new accessories so it will be functional
and attractive. Be sure you watch for that new post over there in the next day
or so.
See you soon.
Laurette
