Sassy Apron Swap - Spring

Remember this?


Well, it's part of this:

(I can't name my swap partner yet, otherwise it would ruin the surprise... but I hope she likes it)
She has received it now(or should I say alreay?!)...it went to Mary ...have a look!!!

all revealed

I can finally show you the apron I made for Mia, my swap partner and swap hostess at One Hour Craft. I am so happy she liked it. Here it is for you guys:





The pocket is an oven mitt which is attached by a hook to the apron. I embroidered the apple on the mitt to match the apron fabric and the little heart makes space for the thumb.

There's also the surprise I prepared for Mia's daughter...a matching apron based on a traditional Portuguese design blogged before

Mia's apron has been submitted for the Tie One On's June theme 'The pocket'...actually this is where it all started...
and I hope the other apron can be submited for next month's theme ' Local Pride'....

'boy, am I proud??

'M' is for Maria

aka Mia.

Yes, I've been really fortunate to have the lovely and talented Mia as my swap partner for the May OHC Apron swap.
My parcel was sent yesterday by Airmail so I hope it doesn't take too long to cross the Planet and reach her safely. Let's see if she likes it...

Here's a sneak preview:

apron swap

I've joined the May Apron Swap organised by lovely Mia from One Hour Craft.

All I keep thinking of is how can I come up with a colourful and different design for my swap partner (no names revealed, yet!), as suggested by her. mmmmm

Anyway, with aprons in mind I've been looking at some eBay stuff and I found aprons just like my favourite one when I was a child. I loved this apron because of the colours and the very useful pocket. Here's a few pictures I found on current auctions on eBay (click on the photos to follow the link):

And of course I had to get one..mine is green :) I quite love the yellow one above, though.

I think my swap partner would love these but I don't think I could get all that embroidered within one hour...so, I'm now going to turn to my sketch book and let my imagination flow through my pencil...
