The Apron Call

My daughter called me and asked,

 "Mom, do you remember that apron you use to wear?

 The blue and brown one, with pockets. Do you still have it?".

Thinking,  Ahhhh...yes, I remember it well.

I wore it almost everyday around the house. 

I loved the BIG pockets.

 I could pick up things that I found around the house, 

then put them back where they belonged.
All hands free.

Those pockets were good for hide things or just stashing items.

Coins found their way into those pockets, for some reason.

 It went over my head, was loose fitting and had huge (ugly) designs on it. 

If you spilled anything, you'd never know.

It was well worn.

But I got rid of it during the BIG PURGE a few years ago.

Never thinking about it until Kimmy brought it up.

Then she went on to ask me,

"Could you make me one?".

Sure??? I said. 

Not really sure I could.

After looking around the internet,

 I found out what they call this type of apron.

It's called a Cobbler Apron.

I found the material that reminded me of my old apron.
Created the pattern from newspaper.
Got Suzie sewing machine out, (I name my things) and started sewing.
I added one more pocket (for cell phone perhaps) and longer ties.

Ready for Kimmy!


 I'm surprised how our children will remember or
be touched by certain things,
 that they have stored in their life memories.
I wouldn't have imagined that an apron would represent
 any kind of memories.
Surprise!

I'm all about memories!
I'm happy to share and be apart of
 the Apron Memory.



I love you Kimmy!
