Amy Butler Knows What She’s Talking About
Dear Finny,
Have you sewn the May assignment yet? Once you have, I have a feeling you’ll want to make a dozen of these sweet aprons. As if we weren’t already in love with Ms. Butler and threatening to ship ourselves to her studio to learn more, this pattern is my favorite yet. I just love it! This apron is by far the nicest thing I’ve ever made. (So great, in fact, I actually immediately made another.) I can’t wait to make more of these pleated aprons for my favorite cooks.
You requested an action shot for this month’s theme. My British Grannie turned 73 this week and rocked her new pleated birthday apron. Tell me she isn’t adorable? Oooh, how I love that woman!
And one last silly action shot when I tried to recreate the photo from the book.
Hope you are having a great weekend Fin!
xoxo,
Kelli

I know the feeling, I’ve always wanted to smuggle myself into Kaffe Fasset’s studio.
May 13th, 2007 at 7:35 amThe apron is lovely!
And I’ve decided, judging from pictures you’ve posted here, that your entire family is more attractive than the average bear. You’re one good-looking clan!
May 13th, 2007 at 8:17 amOh mama are you right - the apron pattern is awesome. I finished mine yesterday and will post on it shortly.
Plus, how cute is your grannie?!
May 13th, 2007 at 8:44 amYour gran is beautiful, and such a good sport to pose for a pic. NICE WORK on the apron, Miss! I have to agree: this pattern goes in the success column. Mine’s done except for the pocket (which is where deviated from the pattern), and I was really pleased.
May 13th, 2007 at 10:26 amGranny is a cutie! Love the apron, too. My stepdad’s mom came by just long enough to criticize everything from my weight to my hair length. Oh happy Mother’s day! LOL

May 13th, 2007 at 3:21 pmFantastic job, Kelli, and adorable Grannie! I have not yet had a minute free to do the apron but it is first on my long list. Thanks for the inspiration!
May 13th, 2007 at 3:24 pmHappy Mother’s Day, Kelli–to you and your family. I think it’s wonderful that you made one of the aprons for your grandmother. I can see a resemblance of you in her–y’all are beautiful people.
May 13th, 2007 at 3:30 pmWhat great photos! I love that apron.
May 14th, 2007 at 4:44 amYour Grandma is so cute! And I love the apron, the colors are perfect!
