Yay!
Also, regarding aprons... Tina over at Alterations & Creations on Roosevelt and 3rd Avenue makes and sells beautiful aprons for $20, as a fundraiser for her sewing school. I can't remember off the top of my head exactly who her students are, but I think it was either at-risk girls, or victims of domestic abuse. She is also going to be opening up a sewing school right around the corner from you on 4th Street, Denise! :)
