What to sew? Hmmm - Contest!

I bought 2.5 yards of this lovely fabric yesterday.

For our Master Bedroom and Bath with shabby chic/cottage style decor.

I could sew a few throw pillows of course. I already have curtains I like. Not sure I could manage a proper duvet from this small piece. I just want this fabric in this room, and not just laying over the chair!

So what else could I do with it!?

> Tell me, and if I like your idea I'll sew something special just for you too!

Giveaway: Girl's Dress Apron

Enter below before MAY 6, 2012!

Fits ages 7-12 years old.

This apron is my sample piece made to advertise one of my current sewing projects. It's not the sewn perfection of those I will sell, but it is a very nice piece. I am going to make unique dress aprons for girls to wear over their first communion, flower girl or junior bridesmaid dresses before and after the ceremony. This is a perfect gift idea as they will use it much more as they craft and bake. The main purpose - keep those punch spills and frosted fingers off that expensive white dress!

SAMPLES:

Since it will be a couple weeks before I am able to sew my current items for sale, I am listing the fabrics here for you to choose if you'd like to request a custom order item.

Note: These are quick pics of the fabrics I've precut for the items listed below. They are washed but un-ironed at this point, so you may need to use your imagination! The number indicates how many I can make with that fabric.
