There’s one last project completed during the weekend at Mom’s that I’ve yet to show you.

It started the week before. I was distracting myself at work while browsing facebook, when an ad for a harvest apron came up. Now I have eleventy billion baskets – I have no need for a harvest apron. But they also hold tools and such – and that could be handy. One of the reasons I like my dresses to have pockets is to hold stuff while in the garden – but they aren’t great for holding a trowel.

So… I started browsing other types of gardening aprons. But all of them are full-size aprons, and I just thought and extra layer would be too warm in our sweltering summers. It was then I decided to look up patterns for aprons, and I came across this one.

I sent it to Mom, and she agreed it would be perfect – and pretty easy to make too. And I had just the fabric for it.

A line called Planted With Love. (I had a half-yard bundle, but the apron can be made with all fat quarters.) I brought it with me to Mom’s and while I was working away at the long-arm, she was sewing me a garden apron.

I told you they were the perfect fabrics!

This is not the best modeled picture I’ve ever done, but at least it gives you an idea of how it looks on. I think it’s going to be just perfect for keeping things handy while I’m out and about in the garden.

Now… if all that snow would do me a favour and melt…
