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.

The red binding tape is perfect, and if you add his name in red, it will be great! Mr Good Looking will be happy to wear this apron.
Hugs, Lidia

This is a wonderful apron for a man. Your daughter is very lucky to have a husband who does the cooking. He will love having such a personalized gift.

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.

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

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.
