My cheat Christmas present for my son in law. He does all the cooking and as soon as I saw this apron In a local store I knew it was for him. Took the pockets off and embroidered them. As I was trimming off threads I had an accident - I cut through the bottom of one of the pockets, hence the red bias binding tape. I think I may just add his name in red.

Your accident turned out great, adds just a punch of color.
Very nice gift for a male.

I never would of thought the red wasn't part of the original design. It's very complementary. It looks good. I think it'd look nice with his name in red too.

Great looking apron. You did a wonderful job and I think the red bias tape really brings out the designs.

I think your accident makes it look better with the touch of red. The sewing angels were probably guiding your hand.

Maybe a nice set of dish towels is in order that says Mr Good Looking is doing dishes. That might make your daughter extra happy. Love the apron and the red trim.
