Well, lately I have found myself a little depressed because most Walmart stores have gotten rid of their fabric sections. Can you believe it?! and Joann Fabrics is a little more expensive, so I try not to go there. It tends to irritate my husband if I spend $50 on some flannel I couldn't resist buying...like I have a need for flannel.
A few months ago, Logan and I were in Red Bluff, where we had lived when we first moved to California. I love it there. The pace of life (and a few of the people) are a little slower, people are so nice and everyone -- lower, middle and upper class -- shops at Walmart. Red Bluff has one of the few remaining Walmarts with a good fabric section. So I stocked up.
This was in May when I was making a few quilts. When I do any crafting, I tend to get bored easily and need a change of pace. So I have moved on from quilting. But I had this darling fabric from the Red Bluff Walmart. So I decided to make aprons. I guess sewing for me is like cooking. I don't know how to follow recipes and I don't know how (or care to) follow a pattern. So I just kind of made these up. Aren't they cute?!
I call them "Walmart Fallapart" because I am not really confident in my seamstress abilities. I think they might fall apart. But they will be good for at least one wear.

I think they're adorable! Way way better than I could do too!!
I am the same way. I got bored with scrapbooking, so when we got the house I was decorating like crazy. Well now that the nursery is done and we painted the whole room and I painted some decorations, I am over painting. But my aunt is sending me her old sewing machine, so I am hoping to make some pillows and some aprons before Landry gets here.
But we will see how that goes! Those are really cute. Better than spending 50 bucks on one at the mall ;)
stevie! i love that you always have such cute projects! the closest i get to a project is attempting to get the laundry caught up :)
