My First Real Apron

I found some material at a local thrift store that I thought would be really cute for an apron. I'm not one to like aprons. I don't cook much so what would the use be for one? I had talked to the Stutzman women about aprons before. It's an everyday item for Amish women. And every new bride receives a special one as part of their wedding gown/outfit. {They wanted to make me one for my wedding, but I had to tell them we don't wear them since we get to wear a nice, yet expensive, dress. I took them pictures to show them and they still thought I could have pulled it off. haha}

I explained to them that I wanted something with lots of cute color, since i'm not Amish and don't really fall into the plain black or white apron. Amanda, eldest daughter, told me to find material I liked and she would make me my first real Amish apron.

They even added a pocket for my cell phone. {We have an ongoing joke about cell phones. I always tell them to call me! It's just a big joke for them. So they added the pocket so I could get the phone if they called.}

It looks so cute hanging in my kitchen! My husbands apron for the grill is so dirty I refuse to wash it! Ha-ha
