At my Mother - in - laws funeral dinner a server was wearing the shirt apron. I thought they were so cute, so when we were going through Mom's shirts I saved some to make into apron's for my girls and myself. A way to think of Mom when we cook. She was a great cook and loved to sew as well. So thank you again. You've made my life easier - a pattern to follow.

I even took the weekend off (which is unheard of- I do hospice home health care & hate leaving my patients for a couple days). I'm looking forward to it! I hardly do things for myself- as most women do. Safe travels & I'll see you soon!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09804769171672228438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-79379360075047083032017-03-05T15:45:17.260-05:002017-03-05T15:45:17.260-05:00Hello Bonnie!

My mom's mom taught me to sew & cook, my dad's mom taught me to knit & crochet. I miss my grandmother so much & I'm greatful for all I was taught!! I got the apron bug last year & made a few. Now I want to make more. I always catch food messes on my "shelf" (boobies). I'm very happy you get time with your family. I miss my son who's in college in AZ! Hopefully he'll be home for spring break! Thanks for everything.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09804769171672228438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-74111217921486154672017-03-05T11:49:24.345-05:002017-03-05T11:49:24.345-05:00I shared a table with Allison one retreat --- she ...I shared a table with Allison one retreat --- she is a gem as you have said many times.

In the 7th grade (many many years ago) in home ec our first project was a apron. In addition to the project we presented a fashion show with a poem type intro to go with it. Purple has always been my favorite color. I found a fabric I loved and made my first project. I have no clue the machine but it was a old singer that was my grandmothers and what I would give to own that machine today. All my friends had newer machines and I did not want that machine. <br />My poem for my fashion show was "Lavender and Blue will make your dreams come true". The fabric was a lavender and blue. I think the pattern and fabric was bought at SS Kresege stores, which were a five and dime stores in Michigan. Oh how i loved to go to that store. <br />Thank you Bonnie for this post this morning and a wonderful flood of memories coming back to me.
