Jofrog is Knitfrog!

I'm two days away from my first outdoor craft fair ever! (The info for MA locals is at the end of this post.) I've got 5 boxes full of shoes:
Peek inside. This is the 6-12mo size box:
...and now it's time for other crafty projects! I'm going to be doing the first and third outdoor fair all by myself, so I wanted to be sure that all important things (read:$$) are as secure as possible. The best way to do this is to wear a craft show apron. Of course, always the one to take the harder road, I decided to make one... about 20 minutes ago!
Seriously, this project only took me ~30mins and it's just great! It has two pockets, one for the sales pad and one for money and credit card receipts. Both are very deep so nothing can fall out. I was going to make straps, but when I hemmed the back piece, I decided that I could just thread a thick ribbon through it. Easy peasy!
...and a closer shot. Dani, do you recognize the fabric?
As a side note, the shirt I'm wearing in this picture is from Etsy seller "East 4th Street". I'd had my eye on it for a while, and finally got it for myself. I love this shirt. Today is the first day cool enough to wear it and I jumped on the chance!
For those of you that are looking for something fun to do this weekend, I'll be at the Billerica Yankee Doodle Homecoming on Saturday, and the Melrose Victorian Fair on Sunday. Next Sunday, 9/21, I'll be at stART on the Street in Worcester.
All of these fairs are large outdoor street festivals with food and activities, parades, games, and crafts!Crafty Girl
