Sweet heart

My apron for tie one on:




The pink chambray is vintage - I've had it for over twenty-five years. The pocket fabric I found last year - pink and red polka dots placed in a circular pattern (reminds me of an atomic era print). I like polka dot prints but must confess that many of them make me dizzy - particularly black and white or navy and white.

Apron is trimmed with baby and jumbo ric rac. Here is close-up of pocket:




I had originally planned a much more elaborate applique apron with various polka dot fabrics from my stash, but time constraints dictated I go with something simple. Even so, I was scrambling to get it done on time.
