Are you cooking Thanksgiving dinner? I sure am. Thanksgiving dinner is my favorite time to cook. I think it is because you get one week to cook it, and every takes the kiddos away to let you just be in the kitchen.
So . . . I dared to sew an apron to wear while I cook. Does that count?
Actually, I sewed a couple so my helpers could look like they belong.
I was excited to have a reason to use Moda's Gobble Gobble line and a cute orange velvet ric-rac.
I used the BHG apron pattern that Kim talked about. It's a free pattern, gotta love that.
Do you know how hard it is to take a picture of yourself, while sucking in your tummy, and trying to get good lighting? Hard - that's why there's only one, and it's at the bottom.
For more of me feeling the Thansgiving spirit, I have Thanksgiving quilts here, and my PB knock-off Thanksgiving advent calendar here.

I'm SO jealous of people with sewing skills! Your apron is great!
This is amazing and beautiful! I am so jealous and I wish I had something so cute to wear on Thanksgiving day. Great job!
I love aprons and yours is Darling!!
Ok, I'm inspired to try the pattern now. Very cute aprons, thanks for the inspiration to get going!
I LOVE that! So cute!
That is SUCH a cute apron. I love the colors in the material. I'm in the hunt for a sewing machine. Then I can be cute at the holidays like you!
I love the apron- I might have to give that pattern a try!
lol at you trying to suck in your tummy. I totally had the same problem. I love the Gobble Gobble fabrics. I love the apron.
And, I'm so thankful that you joined up. Having you as a part of the Dare to DIY Party makes it a true party! =)
So cute!
You are such a little overachiever! Cute apron and your tummy looks very flat :D
Great choice of fabric! Totally Thanksgiving-y but perfect for year round too. Definitely envious of the sewing skills!
Hmmm.... I'm cooking for Thanksgiving and don't have an apron. Didn't really think about it until now, but yours is so cute I'm feeling left out! May just have to get one. :-)
I love the fabric choices that you made. Too cute!
That's such a cute little apron! I think I definitely need the smock apron - I still haven't outgrown the "oh wait, I shouldn't stir the spaghetti sauce that fast?" phase. But what a great idea for Thanksgiving! It's cute, useful, and you can reuse it!
Your apron is adorable! I seriously need to tackle sewing. It intimidates me....and I suck at it.
Cute! Your striped fabric is adorable on there!
Yep..I have aprons on my mind too! I love the fabric. Sew Thanksgivingish! :D
What a great way to use the Gobble Gobble!! I love it.
PS. the picture of you turned out fantastic :)
Adorable! I love ric rac on anything.
super cute- of course! I so thought of you the other day when I was knocking out my first ever sewing project. it was a skirt and shirt for Ruthie- I'm going to post about it today. It turned out not bad surprisingly! love the apron- I might have to make it project #2!
Oh my gosh, that is super cute! Simple, with just the right amount of "cute"...LOVE IT! ~mary~
It looks totally fab! Just as soon as I can unpack my sewing machine I am going to attempt that. Well, it won't happen for Thanksgiving, but maybe I can pull it off for Christmas. I know a sweet little helper that would love one too.
Thanks for posting this!

Adorable! I love the colors of fabric you chose!
great job! i have gotten into the habit of wearing aprons all the time - old ones of my grandmas and new ones that i've made -- even my little girls grab them when they get to help in the kitchen. love the one you made!
This is SO super cute! I love the bottom ruffle trim. Well done.
very cute!
I love it ! You will surely be the belle of the party in that darling apron! Your fabrics are so wonderful !
What a great apron! Now I want one for each holiday.
Darling! So so cute Laurel. I love the colors, the ric rac - everything. Adorable!

If I was cooking with this cute apron on, I would feel like the cutest cook on the planet. I love it! It reminded me that I really should get an apron one of these days.
That apron is absolutely adorable. Good job! I love aprons, and that's one of the cutest I've seen in awhile.
Absolutely adore this...I think even I could make it. It would be such a cute gift.
I'm so in love with your apron that I included it in a post today over on my blog. Happy Thanksgiving!
That looks great, perfect Thanksgiving colors.
