My daughter always wears a thick apron when she paints. I am thinking of making/ buying one and embroidering it with artists material ie:- easel, paints, brushes etc. In between these I will embroider some famous artists names. As this is a one off Christmas project does any Cutie know where I can get any designs, preferably free.

Years ago I made an apron for my father, who used to paint until a couple of months before his death in 2011. I used brushes and colour mixes. I never took a picture. After his death I got it and it has a lot real paint on it.
The designs are all mine. The last one fits a 100x100 mm (4"square) hoop, the others a 130x180 mm or 5"x 7".
