Good morning everyone and welcome to another day in the kitchen of the Pie-and-Leer Woman!
You know nothing quite warms my dainty heart like whipping up vittles for my extremely virile and all-American husband Lard! Today he’s out in the corral castrating the livestock and working up a manly appetite! So I’m in the kitchen as God intended making him a little snack! 
Lard works so hard and he likes me pretty, so I always bake in a fresh new outfit with grease defying cleavage!
Today I’m wearing Burda 6974 and it it’s in a sassy knit geometric print so I can run out to the paddock and wrestle a calf if necessary, without getting any noticeable blood on me! The gathered front neckline has a draped center and reminds me of Darlin’ Lard when he tucks his bib into his flannel and tears into some ribs! 
I got the fabric shipped from Fabricmart cuz it wouldn’t do for me to be out of the kitchen for too long- my menfolk need constant nurturing and hearty proteins!
This shape is a favorite of mine and I cut it as a dress originally- but decided it looked too much like another dress I had- so I tunic’d it. See, Lard isn’t the only one willing to cut things off!

You are truly insane… in the very best ways! 😉 Love this top, think I’ll have to give it a try, even if I don’t have an All-American husband named Lard LOL

Ah yes, wisdom handed down from pioneer women through the ages: sew up your frocks in a blood-concealing print. I love this top. Is the front all one piece on this pattern or is the draped part separate?

It’s one piece- with this giant t-Rex shape that gathers and flips around.

I am inspired as always – especially as we have the same mixer – feeling all homey now and may whip up one of those special 1950s holiday aprons so beloved – now just to figure how to get my 1950s wasp waist back….
