"Recipe" for Brightening up the Kitchen

Start with a bright and lively print:
Cut and piece with other vivid prints - polka dot fabrics are highly recommended "ingredients" for this....

Next, take those fabrics and combine with a lovely design such as Meg's Emmeline apron.
Now, cut up an out of style wool coat and add the patchwork pieces, a custom quilted lining and binding to make some zippy looking oven mitts.


Ta-da! Now wasn't that a simple way to brighten up your winter kitchen?


(Best part of this apron design is being able to reverse it whenever the mood strikes or a spill happens ;o)

  12. Tee perfect recipe! I love all the different contrasting patterns you chose. I have a funny story about the "big fruit" fabric - when my daughter was around three I took her to the fabric store to choose some yardage for a dress. It was going to have a simple knit bodice and I had in mind a sweet, small print. But oh no, she wanted the "big fruit" not what I had in mind at all. She wore that dress all the time.
