| Finished. |
1. Does not take too long
2. Is not expensive (I got this shirt for $1)
3. Utilises what I have on hand
4. Is useful
So I am now going to Op Shops with this present in mind. I sewed this one in the hour while waiting for dinner to cook. I have one more cut and ready to go. Should finish it tonight. I love getting things on my list actually completed!
To keep it looking good I would have used Red bias on the edges and for the ties, but I did not have any in my stocks and I want to use what I have rather than go shopping.

ReplyDeleteThis is an adorable idea! I have several of my hubby's shirts that I was planning to either use for quilting or making teddy bears, but now I'm thinking "aprons" would be so much fun!
