9888This turned out great! I half-way watched the video and it was a quaint idea about the snap and adding a towel/wiper at the top. The Christmas material was a timely choice. It sure would make some good early gifts for the season! I guess you know that all of us are just waiting to join in (online) with your usual Christmas festivities!!!! You do such beautiful work!

25743great choice of fabrics Chris. It will look fabulous on Christmas morning!!
16529How beautiful! Now I'm going to have to start making aprons, too.
It would not be hard to add a bib to the top of this for those of us who get messy on top, too! :)

72397You did a beautiful job making this. I want to try my hand at it. It is so simple, should not take long to stitch.

If you have everything ready at your fingertips it shouldn't take long. Of course when it's on the video it's all done in 7 minutes! It's impossible. For a start I overlocked my seams, as I think it looks better on the underside. I didn't use Dental floss, I used 2 rows of gathering stitch. The flower took the longest!!!!!!
But it's still not a long project! Love Chris
27683beautiful... I tend to get the upper half of me dirty.. I guess I should make some aprons for Christmas too.. I love the colors here.. time to open the Christmas stash of fabric..

Hi Yvonne, yes they are from my Christmas stash. I even bought some more yesterday, but didn't use them. I'll have to do another one, right? Love Chris
132773Great job Chris. I watched the video yesterday and it looks simple enough that even I can make it. I like how they used the dental floss for gathering the waist. Your apron is very pretty.

Yes, that was a great idea. I didn't use it, I just do a double row of gathering stitches. I just loved the flower part, it's real cute! Love Chris
