| Introduction | I have been making aprons for a couple of years now and selling them to people I know or friends of people I know. Up until now 100% of the purchase price has gone to Elizabeth House, a home for pregnant homeless women in Pasadena. Due to the increased cost of materials and the cost of selling on line, 80% to 90% of the purchase price will now go to Elizabeth House. I have a goal of raising $20,000. Thus far almost $8,000 has been raised. The main gist of my blog is about my apron making... the design, construction, finished product and selling them and the fun I have doing it. But... I'll probably blog about other things also. My aprons can be purchased on Etsy.com if you live too far away to come and view them. I have always enjoyed sewing and after 20 years of raising my two children, Andja and Nick, I have returned to one of my favorite pastimes. |
