Picture This - Contest

So I was trying to think up something "fun" and "motivating" to bring in some business for my side affection "Sew Sassy Custom Apron Creations".

And after the holidays hit with a "Bang"; I thought..."why not a photo contest"? for all you folks out there that have supported me in the past.

In a "nutshell"...

Send me a photo of yourself wearing a "Sew Sassy Custom Apron Creation" (to be posted on my Sew Sassy Facebook page).  I will then post your pic and put your name in a drawing for a "Free" one-of-a-kind apron*.  That's right "FREE"!

Now, if you don't have one of my aprons - I would ask why not?  :) 

But that's okay - just let me know by telling me what you would love about owning a Sew Sassy Custom Apron Creation (make it creative) and you will be put in a second drawing for 50% off a to-be-made apron**.

That's right - it's just that simple. 

I'm looking to spread a little "Good Lookin' While You're Cookin" and this is a great way you can help me spread the word.

So come on people!  What are you waiting for?!? 

Remember Valentine's is just around the corner and Mother's Day follows shortly after.  I also do men's aprons for that B-B-Q'r in your life.  What's that?  Father's Day too (but of course).

Thanks for playing.



These rules apply:

*I pick the "Free" apron for you (It'll be cute - trust me)
**You can request ONE custom apron (sorry - mommy and me sets not included) at 50% off  - $15 savings!
Drawing will be held on February 4th.

"In Production"

I'm finishing up a "Shades of Blue" CAC (custom apron creation).  Once it's complete I'll be starting on this little cutie.

Who doesn't LOVE a baseball game.  I just loved the colors - so bright and cheery.

This pic is just a teaser.  Can you envision the final Apron?


PLAY BALL

Let me know what you think.

Until next time...

Custom Apron Creation - 101

Ever wonder how Custom Apron Creations evolve?  Wonder what your one-of-a-kind Apron might look like?

Well, here's the "quick & easy".

Step #1:   Tell me your 2 favorite colors?

Step #2:   Tell me 1-2 likes? 

Hobbies: Cooking, Wine Tasting, Fishing, etc.

Sports:   Baseball, Soccer, Football, etc.

Holidays:  Halloween, Thanksgiving, Valentines, etc.

Collect:  Tea Cups, Clocks, Purses, etc.

Animals:  Birds, Horses, Dogs, etc.

Shapes:  Hearts, Stars, etc.

Travel:  Paris, Italy, the Great Outdoors

The possibilities are endless...

Step #3:   Let me pick the fabric combos. 

I'll send you a few pictures and you make the final choice.  Or simply "live on the apron edge" and be surprised with the fabric I choose for you.


Example:

Fave Color - Purple.  Hobby - Love canning fruit.  And "Voila", the finished apron.

  

Tie in the front ...

...or tie in the back.

It's just that easy!

With the Holidays just around the corner, wouldn't it be great to have an apron to wear while you host?  Or better yet, buy that "special someone" a one-of-a-kind, "made especially for" Apron gift.   Just a little something to think about.

Don't forget; 20% of my sales goes back to Saddleback and the Food Pantry "Helping feed local families in need"

Back in Business

Hello Sassy Fans,
I'm back in business!  After a spring detoured by surgeries, and a summer filled with healthy choices and plenty of running around; I FINALLY was able to sit down the last few nights and start up some (long overdue) custom "Apron Creations".

This little beauty was requested by my friend, Tina.  Her personal business "Frosting on Top" had the chance to submit a video for "Cupcake Wars".  And when (not "if") she makes it on the show, she'll be wearing this little beauty I lovingly refer to as "Purr-fect Cupcakes".  Because her cupcakes truly are perfect!

 

 

 

I was happy to have been able to incorporate her logo on the apron, to give it that extra special touch.

I'm excited to say I'm finishing up another Apron Creation for one of my friend's whose personal business is "Greeting Cards".  Pictures of her "berry" special apron to follow on my next post.

Until next time, make it a "Sassy" day.
