Apron for my mom

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Functional

For: Unisex

Style: Traditional, Cute


Materials

Fabric: Garden Tools from Caleb Grays Suburbia Collection for Kaufman, and Luca in Moss, West Indies by Jennifer Paganelli. blogged: http://neenkster.com/2012/12/m-i-a/

What was your inspiration?

My mom's love of gardening. I drafted my own pattern from an apron that I own. If there is enough interest, I could try make it into a (free) tutorial.

What are you most proud of?

I think I worked very neatly, so it's a real shame that this gift got lost in the mail. It's been missing for 3 weeks now :(
1/9/2013: after being lost for 5 weeks, the apron finally arrived! I guess the slowest mailing option of USPS (normally 10days) is really slow!

So sad that it got lost in the mail. Your mom would have loved it. Perfect fabric for a gardener. Great job on drafting a pattern too. Nicely done.

thank you! :) I gave her a oven mitt made with this fabric last year, so it would have been the perfect combo, but alas!
