But wait… here’s more aprons!

I seem to be in an apron-making phase at the moment… or maybe it’s because they seem to be an ideal contribution for a couple of worthy causes. Either way, I am really enjoying making them as they are reasonably fast to make, and they are not only beautiful, but they are also very practical items!

The first apron is for the Rowany Festival Fighter Auction prize table for 2015.

Worked on the same lovely suiting linen with DMC Perle 12, this one has 2 narrow bands of zigzag hemstich, with a wide band of ladder stitch bordered on both sides by four-sided stitch.

And the second apron is destined to be part of the Lochac Raffle, which will be drawn at Rowany Festival in April 2015. The theme for this year’s raffle is “Tudor”.

It features twin rows of zigzag hem stitch around the sides and bottom, and a row of four sided stitch in between.
