Lovely fabrics, sweet designs and hand crafted quality, Sasha Sews Etsy shop offers aprons, bags, purses and more. Sasha sent me a Mandy J Reversible Hostess apron to try out. Imagine my delight as I opened the package to see this gorgeous hostess apron. (Mark had to suffer through my oohing and aahing and trying it on immediately, but he’s a good sport.) 
It is beautiful, pretty enough even to wear with guests in the home. Made of a nice quality, designer fabric and flattering to all body types, yes, I will be wearing this on Thanksgiving Day.
Sasha does a nice job with the construction and the fabric is scrumptious. Just check out the detail of the pocket on the reverse side and the wide reversible ties that are long enough to tie in front or back.
Sasha has a variety of aprons, baby bibs, hand bags, purses, totes, even coffee and card cozies currently in her Etsy Shop. What girl wouldn’t love a pretty handmade apron or handbag for Christmas?
Sasha is giving one Raising Olives reader a Mandy J Reversible Hostess Apron in the fabric of your choice.

Oooh – I also love the Paradise Garden fabric, and my favorite dish has to be our homemade cranberry sauce. We always make a LOT because it keeps and keeps. It’s delicious actually ON the turkey, not just on the side…

The Paradise Garden is so beautiful- that would be my choice! My favorite Thanksgiving dish is either my Nana’s mashed potatoes or my mom’s stuffing with oysters ( I know it sounds weird, but it is sooooo yummy!)

I like the trailing Cherry fabric. My fave Thanksgiving food is my squash pie!

Even though it’s the one you’re displaying I’d choose Bali gate (although it was a close call with trailing cherry).

I like Bali Gate and would LOVE to win this one. After living away from extended family for many years I like to try and make Thanksgiving a special time for our family and can totally see myself wearing this all day as my kids and I prepare our meal. My favorite food is greenbean casserole, I just can’t get enough of it. Thank you for the opportunity to win this awesome apron.

Never heard of squash with applesauce. Do you actually mix the two together or do you just like them in combination?

Absolutely gorgeous, I just love Sasha’s work!

Forgot to put my favourite thanksgiving food as I’m an Aussie and it’s not something we celebrate. I do love roast turkey and stuffing though, especially if there’s cranberries and pistachios in the stuffing!
