Amy Butler Love

Love Gathered Front Apron , originally uploaded by Sweet_Things_Design.

Have you seen the new fall 09 Amy Butler line of fabric called LOVE. If not I highly recommend you check it out because you will fall in love with all the beautiful new fabrics.

If I could I think I would buy every piece in the Love line but for now I started with these pieces of the collection, Memento in Midnight and Sun Spots in Mint, to create the beautiful apron pictured above (Love Gathered Front Apron). 

Also, created with Amy Butler fabrics, the Sky Poppy Gathered Front Apron. This apron fabric is from the very popular and beautiful Midwest Modern 2 line, I used the Sky Fresh Poppies and Honeycomb fabrics. I coveted this fabric forever and held onto it with both hands for quite a few months before I broke down and cut into this pretty fabric. And I am so glad that I did, this apron turned out so pretty and feminine.

Both these featured aprons will be at the Holiday Show later this month. To see more pictures of these lovelies please visit me on Flickr.

The New Girls

Here they are fresh from my Etsy shop The Courtney and The Ann.

The Courtney is a mix of sweet and sparkle that you just have to love.  The fabric is a light pink soft fabric with a printed flower design.  The Flowers are accented with a darker pink embroidery design and sequins.  The ties are a pretty white satin ribbon and the skirt is finished off with an iridescent pink disc hem.  I love the sound this apron makes as you swish around... makes me wish I was having a party.

The Ann is a little more sophisticated with a crisp white waist band up against a beautiful orange and blue pattern by Amy Butler.  The hem is finished off with a nice white ric rac trim and white satin ribbon for the ties.  Would be great for a home PTA meeting or some such event when you want to look your capable best.  This is the final piece of Amy Butler fabric I picked up from Crafty Planet, hope you guys come back again this year!

 

More Aprons Abound

Here they today's aprons for your viewing and shopping pleasure, The Cheryl and The Lucy.

The Cheryl is both sassy and sophisticated in a ivory/orange polka dot fabric by Amy Butler.  This is another fabric that I picked up at the Craft Planet booth at the DUCF this fall.

The Lucy is a super sweet seersucker fabric with lavender and white gingham pattern accented with flower embroidery.  It is finished off with delicate ribbon ties.  This apron is so ready for spring!  It would be so cute worn for your easter feast.   

Sweet New Aprons Revealed

Day 2 of apron week, everyday this week I will up-date my Etsy shop with 2 new aprons.  Keep checking back to see the up-dates.  Today's aprons revealed are The Jane and The Elle.  

The Jane apron is made from an Amy Butler fabric that I picked up last November from the Crafty Planet booth at the DUCF.  I coveted this fabric all year long and had to pick it up as soon as I saw it at the booth!  I think it turned into a lovely little apron.

The Elle apron is a super soft white and yellow swiss dot fabric finished off with a vibrant yellow ruffle hem and striped ribbon ties.  I think this apron is kind of sweet and sporty at the same time, it makes me want to go play some tennis.

I hope you like the new aprons and stay tuned for tomorrow's aprons revealed, The Violet and The Cheryl.
