Sunbonnet Sue's Little Pink Apron .... Pink Saturday

It's that wonderful day again..the day of all things pink, all shades of pink, different things in pink.. a whole day filled with pink...It's Pink Saturday. So.. pull up a comfy chair, get your latte..and let's go looking at all the pink wonderfulness. Our hostess is sweet Beverly at How Sweet The Sound. Let's go visiting
For my Pink Saturday...................................
This small apron is just the right size to fit Sunbonnet Sue, Hannah..or any one of the girls. Everyone knows that all good cooks and laundry girls have on their aprons..but this is a dress up apron. Do you see the lace on the bottom? Sue is real proud of that, cause some of her aprons and pinafores are kinda plain. Lace costs a whole buncha money,doncha know?But, mother and grannie knows that all girls needs some ribbons and lace..and pretty shades of pink. So the three of them chose the fabric for the apron and then, the big event. Sue was allowed to actually work the machine some to sew the pieces together. Her little feet barely touch the treadle, but she knows mother or grannie will help her.

A closeup of little apron squares and lace. I love the soft,sweet pinks and mauves...,the calicos and soft prints. Sue feels so very special when she has on this apron, cause it's handmade with love.
Do you have a special apron that you would like to share with Sue?
An embroidery pattern to go on her apron? a ribbon rose??
Happy Pinks everyone..have a wonderful week..

  3. Hi, CC,
    I bet Sunbonnet Sue looks very cute in that apron. Of course, she needs the lace on the bottom. That just sets it off. All of the colors are so pretty together. Thanks for visiting me for Pink Saturday. Have a wonderful weekend. Vicki

  5. Cute apron-and it looked good under your vintage cups too :)

    The darker pink floral is very familiar...it looks just like a fabric I used in the seond quilt I ever made (it was for my DD, my little Sunbonnet Sarah)!
