BAPRON! I've been playing around with some lovely fabric and changing the Bapron to have a different top etc. So I just put some gingham on the top section and the owl fabric and chenille on the bottom. I found some lovely free owls on Embroidery Designs to go with the owl on the fabric. So I placed the owls on the chenille side and the pattern on the opposite. Love and blessings Chris

Haven't altered the clock on my camera yet - the time was actually 22.51pm - daylight savings finished here on Sunday morning!!!!! Yeh!!! Love Chris (I'm off to bed)

I have Ophelie tomorrow and Cooper will be here about 8.00am and Aqualina at 8.15 and we walk them to pre-school and then I have O all day. I am having my 'Flu needle at 10.00 so I'll take her with me and we'll have our baby cino for her and me a half strength skim milk Cappuccino! Not worth it my husband says! He likes full strength coffee.

Baprons are so nice to sew and you made a beautiful pair. I think it's time I made a couple of more too, so thank you for the inspiration.

Actually - I'm procrastinating. I have to embroidery a couple more of the poetry lines in the regional dialect, which I don't speak let alone write, I have to check every word and the coat it has to go on is large and unyielding, so I have to hold it up all the time or the machine won't move properly. And then people say to you: You have one of those machines, only thing you have to do is push a button.

Well, I guess I'll do that first and make some baprons as a treat.

it is sew anoying when people say that! They obviously have no clue as to the amount of work involved! but we do & sew appreciate all that goes into whatever you are creating! hugs Loralye

Sorry Martine, I thought I'd answered your post. Thanks so much and I agree with you re your comment about "just make something on your machine" like it's no problem and they don't realise how time consuming things are to make "by hand" so to speak. Love and blessings Chris

Thanks Jerrilyn, but it is actually only one BAPRON I've just added different fabric to the back etc. Love Chris
by jrob 10 Apr 2013
Yes, that's what I meant. 2 for the price of 1. Americanism, I guess. ;)

Hi Deanna, this is the same bib. The front has the owl fabric and the back has the two little owls. Depending on how dirty one side gets, you can just turn it over to the other side! Clever huh? Love and blessings Chris
