Some resources for those who want to join the Challenge

I'm assuming y'all have plans for the holiday weekend. (Me? Not so much. John took the girls to DeAnna's Playhouse to romp while I do enough laundry to have clean clothes. Then it's off to seek out ingredients for homemade GF poptarts) So, even though I've not gotten any takers as yet, I'm going to give you all some resources in case you DO want to join me for National Tie One On Day:

Aprons:

A cute pattern/tutorial, Retro Style.

A nice selection of patterns for purchase

Another collection of pattern links

A simple "chef style" apron tutorial .pdf

Get into the Apron Spirit with The Apronista
