For Christmas this year, I made my dear friend an apron, since she cooks the most of anyone I know! She became a new mommy again on Christmas eve, so now she has 2 adorable daughters running around her house.
The bottom of the apron was made using a tutorial in Bust magazine (Oct/Nov 2006 issue), and for the top, I traced a vintage apron of mine, which actually worked pretty well!
Here is Beautiful Mama in all her glory, in her kitchen. She loved the apron!! And if she hasn't already, both she and her hubby want her to cook in it with nothing on underneath!
At first I thought maybe I made the top a bit too narrow, but then I had to remember that she had just given birth two days before this picture! So I'm sure it will fit better soon.
Yay, Mama!
Close- up of the fabric I used. This once belonged to the grandmother of my mom's good friend. She had recently moved and gave a bag of fabric to my mom, who passed it on to me. There is enough left to probably make a half apron. Or something else!
The edging on the apron is pink double-fold bias tape. It was my first time working with it, and I loved it. I want to put that stuff around the edge of everything!
