25 Days of Handmade Gifts: Day 19, Christmas Tree Apron



I want to start this post by stating that I am NOT an expert sewer- I know how to work my sewing machine and once upon a time I was able to even make a pair of boxer shorts from a pattern (sadly that skill is lost- ha ha).  BUT, I had this idea and I really wanted to see it through to the end!

I am VERY pleased with the result! I bought the basic apron at Michael's and wanted to use only some small scraps of fabric leftover from my other fabric projects- it worked out beautifully! I mixed bits of our sparkle and shine fabric, sarita fabric and even our Chantilly fabric.  My tree truck is a piece of our jute ribbon.  I know a little cook who collects aprons and plan to gift this to her pint-sized assistant (it is a child's apron).

  1. This is super cute! I'm not much of a seamstress, either, so I'm always impressed when someone is able to create something using fabric. What a great gift this will make.
