My Creation

I love to create things. I think that people are most happy while they are in the process of creating things. For example: artwork, quilts, memories, babies (haha), aprons. For Christmas my family picks another family member's name out of a hat and we have to give that person a gift. We also pick a theme every year. Last year we had to buy (or create) something that had to do with a room in our house. Last year I had my sister in the bathroom (with the wrench... haha jk). This year we chose the theme of colors. I gave to my mom with amazing color of .....orange. Ya, orange. Gross. I know.
Anyway, I racked my brain for a cute thing to create because I have no money at all. I miraculously made an apron from an idea out of a library book. You must know that I have never sewn anything in my life unless you count the time in 7th grade home-ec class when I made shorts, and on the way home--they unraveled.

It's reversible!

Above is a pattern of some kind of vase with a flower sticking out of it that I made up. The original idea came from the book Simple Sewing by Lotta Jansdotter. I also wrapped it in a Macey's ad that had oranges on it so it fit perfectly with my theme. I was so proud!
