Lucy's New Apron

Yesterday I realized that I hadn't sewn in a while and that I missed it. This morning I sewed up an apron for Lucy and I loved it. Such a contrast from the days when I would get frustrated just sewing blocks on a quilt top WAY back in the day! It could be that this was simpler. It's hard to say.

Bibs just haven't been doing their job around here. They keep a small portion of Lucy's front clean, but food gets everywhere with Lu. I have bid a bitter farewell to more than one pair of pants after tomato juice stains and such. With this apron, I am hoping those days are past.

I started with the scraps I had from making a baby blanket. Good thing my girlie is little.

I ended with this. I am worried that the skirt of the apron might be too narrow to accomplish the full lap coverage I was going for, but I hope it will work.

I put the apron on Lu for modeling pictures (as well as to see if it would fit). When I wouldn't let her grab the camera, she flopped on the floor and proceeded to whimper/cry for a while.

Then she recovered and wanted to sit on the sewing chair.

And since she asked nicely, I let her.

And then she used it for snack time. Not that we have ever had much staining trouble with graham crackers, but we had to try it out!
