Autumn Zebra

Craft from Xmas 2015 I made this apron as a Christmas present for my sister in 2015. The blue flower fabric is linen, the pink is a linen-cotton blend. I quite like making aprons because they're fairly easy and you can use colours that people often wouldn't find acceptable for other types of clothing. I can't remember if I used a pattern - I might have got one from one of my "complete sewing guides" which often have instructions for basic household items at the back. I always find it hard to work out what measurements to use for aprons with top pieces - how wide and how tall?

A craft from 2015 These 3 Christmas decorations were made from coffee sacks. They are zig-zag stitched around the edge in brown thread, and stuffed with just a tiny bit of stuffing to make them a bit less flat. They are decorated with scraps of lace and cord, and the templates were positioned to make the most of the printing on the sack as well.
