How to make your own protective case. I was so excited when I received my Kindle 2 that I wanted to show it to everyone. Problem was...Amazon didn't include a temporary pouch! I ran upstairs, found some fabric and made my own pouch over night.

50 Free Apron Patterns You Can Make

Home / Crafts / 50+ Free Apron Patterns You Can Make [Updated 2012] Here’s a treat for Tipnut readers, three free booklets packed full of apron patterns! I’ve scanned, re-typed and organized over 50 vintage goodies from my personal collection and organized them into separate eBooks for you to download (they are in pdf format).
After the two wingchairs I found at the side of the road sale were slip covered in antique ticking I found that I still had tons of fabric left. There were a few areas on the fabric that no matter how hard I tried to remove the rust spots, they never completely faded away. I thought about how I could use these pieces of fabric. An apron seemed like a good choice because in all honesty, I am a bit clumsy when cooking. It never fails that I splatter something on myself when whipping up something in the kitchen. Which is why I always wear an apron .

{Hand Towel} Apron

I thought with all my home renovations projects (found here and here ), you might be ready for something different! I mean, my blog is supposed to be a little of everything :) So, a sewing post is in order. A friend on mine has a very talented mom who made this super cute apron; I knew I wanted to copy it, and put my own spin on it! http://alittleofthis---alittleofthat.blogspot.com/2010/08/hand-towel-apron.html

Retro Ric Rac Apron

I have a deep and abiding love for Ric Rac. If you were to peek into my stash, which I do not recommend, you would think I was saving up for a global Ric Rac shortage. Other people, they buy a pack of gum or TicTac’s every time they go to the store. Nope, not me. I’m Ric Rac all the way.
