After Shirlene posted the site by the Twins - DIY Dish I downloaded the Apron and made it yesterday and today. It's a Christmas one and turned out great! Notice the little flower clasp at the top left hand side. You put that on with a stud and if you like you can put a tea towel or hand wipe with a loop inside the stud and clasp the flower back on. Great then to wipe your hands on! Love and blessings Chris

Nice work. This style would not help me as I get the messes up higher as I am so short.

Great 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

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

How 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! :)

You go girl - get that apron done. I plan on doing some for the girls...at least one of the cooks, and would use it I think. LOL
Chris, I will - for sure. Thanks Beth, can't wait to see what you do for the girls.

This 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!
