Quite a while back I had the bright idea to use these fabrics to make another apron for work. I used all the charm squares I had and then realized that I still needed a pocket on the apron so the apron sat unfinished. I have this thing about having a pocket in everything. Another UFO in my stack of UFO's. A couple of weeks ago I was at Jen's and we were straightening out her sewing studio and she came across the fabrics that I had used in my apron in her scraps. She gathered them all together and told me to take them home and make a pocket so I could use that apron. It took me probably less than 5 minutes to add the pocket and declare the apron finished. It feels great to be finishing up UFO's and getting them out of my stash. One more down but many more to go.
Does anyone out there have a thing about pockets like I do? Maybe it was the era I was brought up in. You always had to have a hankie or a kleenex in your pocket just incase you needed it. I mean how could I use an apron that didn't have a pocket to hold a kleenex? What if I needed to sneeze or blow my nose and I reached for a kleenex and I didn't have one because I didn't have a pocket? What if I needed a place to put a pen and again I had no pocket. Life just isn't complete unless you have pockets...........
