Once upon a time, I found a few yards of pink gingham at the thrift store for such an irresistible price that I took it home and added it into the stash pile. It sat there for a few years until one day, for no reason at all, I got a wild hair to make one of those multi pocket organizer bags with a bunch of accessories for my friend Kelli. I was a little concerned she wasn’t going to love the fabric but she said pink is her power colour, what luck! She got a kick out of it and I had such a good time making it for her that a while later I made a travel sewing kit to add to the collection!
Even after all those projects, there was still SO MUCH fabric left that I sewed her this completely ridiculous incredibly frilly apron. I’m having too much fun with this stuff…
A mob cap/sleeping cap was my (ridiculous) first thought and, frankly, I’m a little concerned that I might be weirder than I thought. (And that’s saying something!)
Love the apron!
Yes, this is definitely the best use of pink gingham! Just make it as frilly as can be. I actually have a pretty similar apron but in blue gingham.
If you want something really ridiculous, my mum made me a red gingham smocked dress as a kid and I wore it all the time. It was my favourite dress for pretending I was Laura Ingalls living on the prairie. Gingham is perfect for smocking and smocked tops are actually pretty comfortable to wear.
So fun and pink in a fun way. Hmmm, you could make her some kitchen towels with this as a trim. It wouldn’t take much fabric, but it would match her in the kitchen.
Hahaha…I was going to say a variation of this in reply to @AntBee! @curiousfae has so many curls she might need 4 yards! JK. Love this addition to the pink overload you made for her.
So pink!! So frilly!! @Magpie shared this amazing apron pattern with me - so inspiring to see it in action, I need to find some fabulous fabric for it!
