Several weeks ago I got in another button making mode and stitched up some cute spring flowers. They are smaller than my normal buttons they are just barely 1". It was fun to see how many flowers would fit. I used pima perle cotton for all of the colors. I love making buttons because they are so instant gratification and fun to look at.
I had mentioned a week or so ago when I was out at the antique store that I found an apron pattern and I planned to make an apron. I did finish it and I made it reversible. I do know it is a Christmas one. In my defense I bought this fabric over 2 years ago and I had to use it up before another Christmas came and went and went unused.
Hmmm not sure that helps my cause it makes me look like a procrastinator. Here it is anyway, as you can probably tell the waist band is wonky around the pleats and my arms barely reach the pockets. If I ever get around to making another one I will make the pockets further up and hopefully do better on the waist band.
So what kinds of things do you put off until the last minute?
