  4. Is that made from a pillowcase or a sheet ? I think I have that in my linen stash!

    Very sweet Clare. And at least your model could be trusted not to move as you took the picture!

  13. Lovely apron, very summery colour. The tree was a good idea, pity i haven't got any in my garden as photographing things like this is tricky if you are on your own. Did you use a sheet and a pattern?

  14. It is really lovely! Great for a Domestic Goddess!
    I wanted to ask about the OPAM - is it your invention or a movement? It sounds great!

  36. Thanks for the lovely comment on my blog. I popped across to visit yours and the first thing I spy is my old bedspread, transformed into a gorgeous apron. It's true, I had a bedspread made in that very same print. The apron looks fab!
