Little Doll Aprons

I will occasionally gift a handmade doll clothes item to girls at the schools I work at.  Here is another apron, which I have fun making.
Borrowed my daughters doll for a model

Having my apron pattern be reversible or double sided gives a nice finished look 


Made my young friend Emma a reversible apron for her American Girl Doll, finally!  It took a little longer than it should have, but I am happy with the end result. I needed to add a little extra ric rac as the recipe mentions fermenting alcohol when talking about sugar as a part of this fabrics design, so I just covered that up sneakily, hahahaha!  Naturally I recieved a squeal of delight and a huge hug!

Vashon Island on a minus tide sunnyday in June

Last spring we had great fun catching the Fauntleroy Ferry in West Seattle. It is a quick trip to Vashon Island, where we were immediately on island time.  Driving south to a beach that has a sandbar that pops out on low tide days, we discovered all kinds of life in the crabgrass.
