Altered Apron Part 2 ~ THE REVEAL

Stephanie of Just a little bit Pink has received her Apron that I made for her for the Altered Apron swap that was organised by Heather and Stephanie ~( see my previous post) I was so honoured to be chosen to make an apron for Stephanies first swap on blog ~ it had to be special but it also had to suit her taste too.
So after a bit of detective work I think I came up with something that might just suit.
Here it is.























I did have a look at making something from scratch cos i do sew LOL.



















But actually I had the perfect thing ~ a vintage french maids apron that I have had for a few years and always wondered what I would do with.




















So I took some vintage roses fabric
























and started the frou frou business lol.





















Which included 2 layers of tightly gathered netting. Then I attached some pink velvet to the waitstband and made a large detachable corsage for the waistband.

and then created a rather long rectangular brooch for the pocket

(both corsage and pocket brooch can be removed so that the apron can be washed if need be)

Of course my detective work revealed a love for butterflies :0)))

Thank you Stephanie and Heather for asking me to create for this swap I loved taking part.

Best wishes Ginny xx
