Traditional/Vintage type apron that started a whole other thing...

Hi ya' all, sorry I haven't posted anything new in awhile, been busy sewing, but not so much on the posting part... I recently upgraded my old $15 Brother sewing machine to a brand new Brother SE425 Sewing & Embroidery machine & I LOVE it!! Anyway, my friend, Jen wanted me to make a traditional type apron for her mom...

In exchange for the apron & other sewing stuff she wants once in awhile, she gave me this ol' girl... YES, a Singer treadle machine, she was locked up from sitting in the machine shed, but my awesome husband got her working for me & she sews like a dream!

So... I got the apron done...

And of course my joker, 16 year old son, Austin just had to try it on, he informed me that he wants one, lol...

So, I got this done & had to make some more... Decided to try it without the ruffles on the shoulders.

Didn't have enough of this fabric to make a whole one, but mom has roosters in her kitchen so I made her a 1/2 apron...

Then, I had to make a green one for me...

When I got this done, it reminded me of a pinafore over a prairie dress... The older I get, the more nostalgic I get about things that take me back to my childhood. Now I don't know about ya'll but I grew up on Little House on the Prairie & I've wanted a Little House on the Prairie dress since I was a little girl. I love Laura Ingalls & hate Nellie Olson, that snotty, prissy bitch stands for everything I can't stand in a girl & I just want to punch her out, anyway... I decided to try to make something that looks like a Little House on the Prairie outfit. Took an eyelet lace bedskirt & a 2 piece skirt pattern, cut the pieces out of the bedskirt, found an old bonnet tutorial & created this...

Then, Baby Girl just HAD to have one... I'll post bonnet pics later, need to close for now so I can finish it... If anyone wants the link to the tutorial I used let me know...

Then we had a Holly Hobbie undergarment moment... Holly Hobbie patchwork costume is on my list for Halloween by the way...

Here's one with her matching bonnet, working on her bloomers now, almost done...
