    LOVE that apron! My "to do" list isn't quite as ambitious as yours...I actually have a pile of shorts/pants/shirts that I need to sew on some buttons/fix a hem/etc. Sounds boring huh? Yeah, that's why it's been on my to-do list for so long! haha

    My next sewing project is going to be one of those cardigans you made. I am inspired and although it will probably take me forever, it sure beats spent 40$ at Old Navy to buy the same cuteness!

    You are so, talented!

    I am a follower of your blog and I love it! I am in desperate need of an apron, I recently got married in August and failed to get one, which means I have to be extra careful while cooking so I don't get food on my clothes....oooops! My next sewing project is going to be sewing some lace onto a ruffle skirt I bought from old navy for $3, I am thinking/hoping it makes the skirt look more vintage.

    I am going to attempt to sew a new duvet cover.. I was thinking about trying to duplicate the ruffle duvet, but after your post on your shower curtain, I think I'll do something a little less intense!

    Leanne, I love this apron! You are such a wonderful creative person to follow. I enjoy getting to see what projects you are into at the moment. With the wedding coming in July I have a great deal of creative projects in the making. As for sewing, I will be creating my very own ring bearer pillow in the likeness of the ruffle shower curtain you made. It was beautiful! Happy crafting!

    I have visited a few times and now I'm a follower! Next sewing project...My sister has a seven month old and just found out she is pregnant. Since I also have two little ones 15 months apart, I understand her conflicting emotions of excitement and let down for not being able to get back in shape. (Don't get me wrong, she is very excited!) so next up, I'm going to help her to a take off of your Nautical dress and make some maternity dresses for her for the summer! Wish us luck!

    I'm a follower and love everything that you do. I show my friends your blog all the time because you're so talented! My next project is the Socialite Skirt. I fell in love with it, and just got material for it, and now I'm saving it for the girls weekend with my SIL's and Mother-in-law. I just barely got my first sewing machine, and I don't want to mess this skirt up, so I'm waiting for help. Thanks for all of the amazing tutorials! I love this apron! Oh question for you.. since I the fabric district isn't close... where else can you find cute knit fabric? I went to Joann's, and they only had solid colors, but I would love to make more skirts and shirt dresses with a printed fabric.
