Apron Giveaway

I mentioned on my last post that I was doing a basic sewing class. Well I'm finished it was a lot of fun. I learnt some new techniques and made a couple of things I'm quite proud of.

Here are some cushions

a bit of appliqué and covered buttons

it even has a zip on the back :)

I hadn't ever done a zip before so very impressed with myself

We also made an apron and this is where the giveaway comes in.

I worked hard to get the seams nice and flat and even.

It is made of drill with some quite nice quilting fabric for the appliqué 

I may have mentioned before that I'm not good at following instructions and this apron was no different

I changed the pattern to make it better in my opinion :)

What did I do.

Firstly I made the ties twice as long and while my daughter is very skinny they even can tie at the front on me.

Secondly I changed the pocket to make it more like a hoody pocket.

Lastly the appliqué was supposed to be at the top in the middle only, but this is prettier :)

So what do you think? Would you like to win it?

To win leave a comment telling me the best thing you ever made.
