Okay, after making baby girl an apron I thought about making myself one too. So I went out looking for fabric and this caught my eye. It looked very kitchen-ish. And the green fabric caught my eye too so I bought some and made the skirt. Oh, and Never say Never, because I didn't think I'd ever try to sew clothes for myself again, but I did, and this time I managed to figure out the invisible zipper (eventually). I wore the skirt yesterday and it is quite comfy. I'm a skirt gal though, that or jeans. Today big boy wanted to make lemon cake (the recipe was in his latest issue of "High Five" magazine) so I got out my apron and we made it! While it was baking I thought it would be fun to try and look like a 50's housewife baking. So I put some makeup on, dug out the pearls, and voila! Honestly I can't stand wearing so much makeup, it feels so yucky, good thing I didn't live back then I guess. Here's the picture (big boy took it). We're off to eat cake!
PS- Can anyone spot why I'm a dunce. Post a comment if you figure it out (there may be more than one reason , Lord knows I'm not perfect, but there's one "duh" thing in particular I noticed).
ETA: The "duh" thing was that I didn't notice the fabric was directional and I made it upside down. The stems are all on the bottom of the lemons. I thought some were stem up and some stem down (would have made more sense), but apparently not! Oh well!

hmmm... does it have something to do with your apron?
hmmm...well if you were thinking 50's theme, could it be no 50's hair doo? or maybe the microwave?
You left the oven light on!?

Yeah, that too! LisaS got it, the "duh" thing was that the fabric was directional and I sewed it upside down! So all my lemons have stems on the bottom rather than the top. When I bought the fabric I thought the lemons went both ways and when I did the cut the fabric was folded right sides facing so I didn't notice until I had it on!
