Pattern Review and my 2nd giveaway....

                             Chic Sisters Apron Pattern  Review




About 3 years ago I discovered a wonderful online store called: Marie Madeline Studio!

I loved their patterns a bought my first pattern from them.

This is a wonderful pattern for anyone to try.
I would rate it for intermediate sewers.

  It's almost, easy enough, that I would rate it beginner,but there are darts in the bib which is slightly tricky for beginners,but if your a beginner sewer and you mom or older sister is intermeadiate than this would be a wonderful project for you to do together.

This would make a great gift for some one weather its the pattern, the pattern and some fabric to make it,or  this apron already made by you(Marie Madleine Studio also make custom aprons if you don't like to sew.)

I've made a few aprons already using this pattern my first was for a friend,

I was very pleased with the way it turned out!

 My 2nd one I made was a gardening apron (which I don't have a photo of)!

This wonderful pattern is so chic and adoreable how could anyone resist buying one.

It gets better. I think it was last year Marie Madeline Studio came out with a:

Little chic sister apron pattern.

You could now buy this pattern in addition to the adult/young lady pattern and make you and all your sisters matching Chic sisters Apron!
I think I would love to buy this pattern and make my 2 nieces matching aprons (which would be another great christmas gift idea.)

Again it's easy enough that the older girls and some of the younger ones that are at the perfect age to start to learn sewing,or even a 5-6 year old could help buy cutting thread. You could make these aprons together. What a wonderful way to spend your time with your sisters,helping and sharing with each other as you sew these aprons (then you could go make cookies together.)
I totally give this pattern 10 out of 10 stars

This is where it gets even more better.

*eeep!* Marie-Madeline Studio was actually the website that inspired me to start sewing. :) I received the jumper pattern from my Mum (in fact, I'm wearing the jumper today). If I could get another pattern it would totally be the Route Sixty-Six skirt pattern. :) Great giveaway!
