Rainy Day Apron Making...

Ahhh... It is a beautiful rainy day here. Perfect weather for some indoor crafting and cooking. We had a few projects going today, I really wanted to try making a pillowcase dress, but I was getting confused over the simplicity of the instructions. Sooooo, instead of making a dress the wise Mimi suggested I try making an APRON (she said it was going to be easy). Ha, well I don't sew.... I would LOVE to learn to sew... But patterns seem really scary to me, and I can never figure out which line to cut on. Yadda yadda yadda.... So, I made one from scratch with no pattern (But lots of imagination). The heart is a bit large, but hey I'm pretty proud of the work I did. I even attempted a button hole (I don't think I did it right). HOORAY!
