Yo Mama Never Looked This Good In An Apron {a super sassy bridal shower gift}

I ordered this pattern ages ago and it's been sitting in my closet waiting. Waiting for me to get fabric. And motivation. And a clean dining room table to spread out on.

The motivation was the hardest part, since I have only basic sewing skills (read: straight lines) and can't follow directions to save my life, which meant the chance of the finished product resembling the idea in my head was a far shot at best.

However.

I am a sucker for making gifts. There. I said it. And nothing makes me more productive than a deadline.

Nothing I'd ever admit to, at least.

Since I had a Bridal Shower coming up, I threw caution to the wind and figured the worst case scenario was that it would come out horrid and I'd have to get her a gift card instead.

The best part of the project was that I could tweak it to my liking: nix the ruffle on the bottom, use a more classic fabric, leave the bow hanging down.....wait, did I say that was the best part? I take that back.

The best part is where it actually WORKED. Can you believe it Mom? It actually LOOKS like an apron.

(note Roger in the background, who doesn't even bat an eye at the sight of me taking a photo in a smudgy closet mirror. He's a keeper. Especially since he's a sucker for curvy hips. Lucky him.)

With a little leftover black tulle from a failed craft attempt, some Hot Tamales, and a light up lollipop (the Bride-to-be calls her fiance "Pirate Boy"), the whole thing's ready to go.

Guess what I'll be making for Christmas gifts this year?
