I have very little ability to sew. It is not something I have previously been keen to do, but I am gradually seeing that it might actually be fun. So up until now my experience of sewing has been limited to making a t shirt in Year 8 home economics! I am a fair bit rubbish at sewing, but I suppose everyone has to start somewhere and the only way is up! So for my first project I am making a quiet book for the boys...... but more on that later.
My Mum has made the boys some beautiful quilts and I must remember to post pictures of them! She has made an impressive amount of 'sewy' things that look awesome and she is only just started to learn.
But to get to the point of today's post, my Mum made this cute little apron for James. He loves cooking and the French theme is very appropriate at the moment (22 days to go for those playing along at home!) The thing that I thought was very clever is she sewed this out of a tea towel! I thought it was such a nifty idea. Now I am not going to attempt to tell you how to make it. But Mum assures me it was easy and took very little time to knock together and there are some great instructions on Youtube. (these modern grannies!) So here is James proudly modelling it. Nanny and James had a lovely afternoon making pancakes and I enjoyed eating them. Yum and I didn't have to clean up the mess :)
