Another Elegant Hostess

This is by far my favorite hostess apron that I have made. With a layer of teal shantung silk underneath, the shear swirl fabric on top is really highlighted. I added a row of beads along the waistband and the hem for a truly dressed up look. The extra wide waistband and large bow in the back make up the total look. I made two of these for a friend of mine who owns a local coffee shop, she wore hers for a catering event. She gave the other one to the local television meteorologist she knew who showed it on air because she was so impressed with it. Sure made my day!

I have decided to enter this contest. Be sure to check out the other entries!

Halloween Hostess


Get ready to host that Halloween party in style. I made this apron from a sheer black fabric with silver mummies over black satin with a large black satin waistband. You could dress up for a costume effect, or make this your costume with a simple black dress or black pants and top.


I was a little concerned about sewing with this sheer fabric, but it was really quite easy. I did a rolled hem on the sheer fabric. I added a huge bow on the back for effect and made the skirt a full circle type. Hope you enjoy this one! I sure did!
