Style: Cute, Casual, Funky, Whimsical

What was your inspiration?

I have all kinds of fabric that have the same colors but the design/pattern in fabric is all different. I love the mix and match of colors and patterns.

What are you most proud of?

That I found a tub of old vintage aprons and one of the aprons was sheer, crispy and didn't feel good. However, it was edged in this wonderful wide lace! So I removed the lace and tossed the rest. I thought the lace should be re-purposed on to another apron!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Just lay your fabric out to get an over all idea what shapes work together. I have a lot of small pieces of fabric so it is fun to mix and match.
