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.

Very nice gift for a male.
Thank you for sharing Happy Stitching:~)

As with all these little accidents, it happened so quickly. I could not believe what I had done.

Unfortunately that is one thing he doesn't do. Thank goodness for dishwashers
