I made curtains for my kitchen oh, um, about a year and a half ago ... but never completed the bottom piece for the cafe style curtains! So this week I finally finished the bottom piece and was very pleased to find some frilly trim that matched perfectly on it!
I also recovered the pillows and cushion on my kitchen bench - they were looking very sad, very stained, and very tired. Some fresh new fabrics, a little extra batting, and some more frilly trim ... and VOILA! They look great again!
And yes, I'm a cheater ... even though I sew, I hate attaching trim to pillows ... so I cheated and HOT GLUED the trim on these pillows! If ya look real close you might be able to tell! Otherwise, it's my little secret ...
Here is another fun little project I made today ... a pretty little apron! I had all these pretty scraps of fabrics from who knows when so I decided last night that I would use them! While watching The Bachelorette last night I started cutting out pieces for the apron and today I put it all together.
If you are a fan of "The Nester's" blog ... you know her mantra is IDHTBPTBB ... or It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful. If you look really close at this apron you will see tons of mistakes ... I'm kind of a lazy sewer, I just like to get the project done and don't always focus on the little details. Like how this stitching is looking pretty crooked and crazy!!! Oh well! No one will know because no one will ever look that close! 
My lovely daughters in their lovely PJ's were kind enough to be my apron models ... and yes, it's big enough for a woman, it's just tied tight enough to fit around their little bodies!
