Gauyabera Apron
A couple of months ago I woke up one Sunday and decided I had to spend the day rummaging through bins of vintage mens’ shirts and then make aprons out of them. I have no idea where I got the idea – maybe I was having a very bizarre dream (we have been watching a lot of Dexter lately – Florida, Cuban-culture, Guayaberas…maybe?) But unlike most creative impulses I get, I actually followed through with this one and made 3 aprons that I’m pretty psyched about. I got really inspired by the Guayaberas with their pin tucks and cool pockets, which could be mixed and matched on the aprons.

The western theme apron can be viewed in Melinda’s Mom’s kitchen in Portland, Oregon, as I was lucky enough to receive it for Christmas! Thank you, Melinda!
