Perk Up a Plain Jane Apron in Vintage Style

Add a little kitsch to your apron!

 Find or make an apron that you like.

Gather some vintage trims, brooches, buttons, whatever you like.

 And don't forget a hankie for the pocket!

I chose reds and yellows to compliment the apron.

 

 Decided where you want to add the trim or rick rack.

Stitch it on.

Add any buttons, pins or other embellishments.

 

Last but not least ...

Fold the hankie into the desired shape and put it in the pocket.

And there you have it, an adorable kitschy apron!

Tutu Bustle Bag

I wanted to share my latest creation with you. 

It's sort of a cross between a bustle belt, a fanny pack and a tutu! 

It's fluffy, feminine and lots of fun.
