Magnificent Obsession


Although I'm probably the only one who's heard of this super cheesy B movie, the title aptly describes my obsession with aprons.  My own little Project Runway where I can be the designer.  Luckily, I don't have the likes of Michael Kors, Nina Garcia, or Heidi Klum judging my work or have to compete with 12 other designers.

I was lucky enough to land a 13 apron deal from a customer yesterday.  He's giving the aprons as Christmas gifts.

At first I was a little reticent.  My creative mind likes to pick the different shirts that will be an exact match and will help me craft my vision.  This morning I went over the pile of shirts and I already have several ideas.  I'm over that hump!

There's one real challenge--a tee shirt.  I've never made an apron out of cotton knit before so the style and shape is likely to be quite different.

My deadline is December 1 but I'd like to have them done before Thanksgiving.

Here's the pile of shirts I have to work with.   They're about to take a ride in the washer and dryer.



Look for the different models coming to my FB page soon.
