In March, I signed up for the Crafty Cooks Apron Swap, run by Fiona, from Celtic Thistle Stitches and Sam, from A Cup of Tea and a Slice of Cake. If you've been reading Threading My Way for a while, you may recall that I have said I don't cook, as Mr TMW does all the cooking, so you may wonder why I am participating in an apron swap. Well, I have started to cook again and my aim is to produce something edible once a week.
With the exception of the waist and tie, the fabric is Flea Market Fancy, by Denise Schmidt. The apron is reversible, but I forgot to take photos of the other side, so that will be a surprise, partner.
I used the following two tutorials, adding a little extra to the width. I hope it's a good fit.
Everyone in the group stressed that they wanted a favourite tried and tested recipe. My repertoire is rather small, but tucked inside is a tried and tested, failsafe recipe. If I can make it, anyone can!!!
Your apron has already been posted, partner and is on its way. I do hope you like it!
I'll be adding this apron to the Apron and Art Smocks link party here on Threading My Way.

Stunning Pam! Your swap partner will love it! Flea market fancy is such a lovely range. I'd love to get some more of it.

I never stopped wearing [and making ] aprons even when most of friends stopped wearing them. They have saved loads of clothes.
ReplyDeleteLove this apron love the swap aprons idea ,,,,,
