Dovie's Aprons: Fat Quarters
http://doviesaprons.blogspot.com/2009/01/fat-quarters.html
Monday, January 5, 2009. Happy New Year. I hope you all had wonderful holidays! What can you do with three fat quarters? If you sew them together you can make a reversible apron, like this one. The pocket is set on the diagonal and made from the same prints. The bias tape is made from the same prints as well and alternates as it goes around the apron. Here's a pic of the other side. These prints remind me of the old-timey feed. And flour sacks that Grandma used for aprons and pillowcases.

Friday, December 12, 2008. I have lots of cookbooks and lots of gingerbread recipes, but this one from King Arthur Flour is one of the best I've tasted in a l-o-n-g while (since Grandma Dovie made gingerbread!

Dovie's Aprons: A Finished Object
http://doviesaprons.blogspot.com/2008/12/finished-object.html
Saturday, December 6, 2008. I have finished Janine's Tea Set apron. I think the sashes are long enough that she should be able to wrap them around and tie a nice bow in the front. The teapot and cups are machine appliqued. Sometimes it helps to be an engineer with all that drafting and design training. 'Cause, no sir, that is not bought scallop trim. It is custom drafted, cut and sewn for this particular apron. She has an entry on her blog at thepinkteapot.blogspot.com. December 30, 2008 at 3:12 PM.

Dovie's Aprons: September 2008
http://doviesaprons.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 27, 2008. And now for something completely different. I've made a business card case using the pattern from Amy Butler. For inspiration. I didn't follow the pattern exactly and I used the scraps from other projects for this. But I'm pleased with the result. I'm considering this one the prototype. I've got some really, really nice fawn tan ultrasuede for a classy card keeper. Wednesday, September 17, 2008. Labels: aprons applique print. Thursday, September 11, 2008. If you're in the Ra...

Dovie's Aprons: Perplexed
http://doviesaprons.blogspot.com/2009/04/perplexed.html
Wednesday, April 15, 2009. I am perplexed these days. For the few of you who read this blog, you know that I designed a one-of-kind apron for Janine of " The Pink Teapot. However, Janine did not remit her payment for quite some time. I understand that things do happen and so I just waited and when I received payment, I mailed the apron to her - nicely packed with tissue paper and enclosed in a plastic bag to prevent damage. I had originally promised that I would not make any more aprons in her design so ...
