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.
For a second entry become a follower, or mention that you already are.

I will draw the winner on Tuesday the 28th of June 2011
at 5pm - Australian Eastern Standard Time.
(That's my birthday)

Good Luck

  1. Firstly, Happy Birthday for next week, I know I will not remember on the day. Now the best thing I have made....hmmm I guess I really should say my boys but other than that it was a scrapbooked album for my husband a few Christmas's ago. It was all manly and full of his life stories. He loved it. PS I am already a follower of your fabulous blog. My fave item you made is the apron for your mother-in-law.

  4. Speaking of appliqué - do you remember the beautiful little frocks that your mother made for you and the Leicester girls(I think)? Not that I really want to help the opposition! LOL
