Mommy and Me Matching Halloween Aprons

Ok I'll admit, I made these aprons out of a mistake. I bought the fabric and clearly wasn't paying too much attention when I cut it for a full length apron, because I had cut it with the design displayed vertically, when it was intended to be horizontal. So I ended up making one adult apron and a child's to match. I should have probably done this a lot earlier in the month since Halloween is right around the corner. It may be hard to sell now. but I can ship it ASAP ;0)

And speaking of black and orange, LET'S GO GIANTS!

From the begining

I started this blog as just a fun way to document my hobbies of sewing and knitting. Sewing was something I had wanted to learn for a long time. I tried to learn for years on and old Brother. It was constantly breaking, I can only assume because of the the way I was threading it. Finally I just went to Target and bought the simplest Singer they sold and have been sewing ever since. Most of the patterns are easy enough to follow and if not, http://www.youtube.com/ never let's me down.

I learned to knit while working as a photojournalist for a small newspaper near Sacramento. I walked in to a knitty boutique for a story and before I knew it the owner had me sitting on a couch and learning to knit myself. I have been ever since.

I'm still learning new levels of difficulty with both, which is why it's still fun. Anyway, here are some pictures of my favorite items up to date.
