Samantha Walker Wanna Be a Cowboy half apron


And there it is! A super cute and SUPER simple apron! {heart.} Just say'n.


Samantha Walker Apron


Okay, so here's the deal...I'm going to tell you a little *secret* BUT you MUST promise not to tell ANYONE!

Are you ready for this???

Are you SURE????

K.

Here Goes!

I didn't touch a sewing machine.

No. Really.

And I didn't touch a needle and thread, either.

Nope. The entire thing is no-sew! I am officially a SERIOUSLY big fan of Heat & Bond. For reals. Just say'n.

AND....I have some GREAT NEWS!!! I am giving this adorable little apron to one lucky Just Jingle reader today! Just leave a comment on this post with a way to contact you and you are entered to win! Just be sure to leave a 'real' comment as opposed to a 'pick me' comment, because, well, quite frankly those bug the heck out of me and somehow the random number generator always agrees with me on that one. Hm. Odd, that. SO, Yeah, totally leave a comment if you would like to win this super cute Samantha Walker fabrics Apron!!!

And...don't forget to leave comments all along the way because Samantha is giving away some super cute fabric and every blog you leave a comment on gives you an entry! So...next up is Nancy! LOVE HER! So hop along and be inspired!!!

And...for those who are here to peek at my workspace, ahhh, yes....that photo...yet again...

Yup. A mess. And a boring mess at that! I don't have any projects in progress, as I wrapped up the stuff I was working on! *sigh* I guess I'll just have to make sure I'm doing something extra cool next week! HA! Don't forget to stop over at Julia's blog if you would like to join in for What's On Your Workspace Wednesday!

Now...it's time to head to Nancy's blog and keep on hopping! Click on the logo link below to get there!

    I love the apron! I'm so glad you shared a non-sew way to make an apron for those who don't have a sewing machine or are afraid to use one. You did fabulous! The pink plaid with the paisleys is one of my favorite combos.

    Heat and Bond sounds good. Do you need an iron to heat it up? No sew sounds like a great alternative foe people like me who can't see to get the needle threaded! Enjoy your blog hop, and have a great day, Valerie

    Another Fab project. Love that fabric combination and the fact that it's no-sew. I can sew, I just like that I don't have to.

    Lovely, lovely combo of fabrics, ribbons etc. You've done it so neatly, I know I'd get heat and bond stuck everywhere except where it was meant to be!! Fabric fans rule :D xxxx

    I KNEW where you were going the moment you said you had a little secret but I have to tell you that does not look like it wasn't sewn! Awesome. I think that apron would be perfect for me since we are back to Mad Men watching in my house and a cute apron TOTALLY compliments a martini or manhatten in just the very perfect way!

    OMG!!! I love aprons! I try to figure out ways to make aprons from just plain white ones that I can alter or win from crops at my LSS. Must do a tutorial on YouTube to show me how you made this apron!!!! What is heat and bond? Would love to know more about that. Thank you very much for sharing! Ideas are now jumping in my head!!!!

    How can your mess be boring when it has taken so much creativity to get it that way and there is so much desirable stash on it. Other people's always seem enticing.
    Love the apron and the fabric so I'm hopping over to see Samantha now.... byeeee.e.e.....e

    I'm freaking out that you didn't sew at all, thanks so much for sharing this project...is the heat and bond you used on a roll or does it come by the yard?

    I spent years and years fighting with a sewing machine that kept breaking the thread or altering the tension without warning before I found one that actually works. Cost me UK£700!!!!! Now I see that all I needed was some iron on bonding. Ay eck!!

    How clever to use that heat and bond. How does it hold up in the laundry! I have always wondered that:-)
