 Let's get the fun started with a CHRISTMAS APRON from Petaloo DT member ... Shellye McDaniel

 

 

Hello!  Shellye along today with a simple, yet festive "Christmas Apron" using Canvas Corp and Petaloo products!

I started with the a plain canvas apron and a square of plain canvas fabric.  The canvas fabric was heavily spritzed with "Kiwi" Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and dried with a heat gun. 

The bottom and sides of the Kiwi canvas were folded in approximately 1/2" and then ironed to form a crease.  The fabric was centered onto the bottom of the apron and machine stitched around the sides and bottom to make a pocket.

I used a leaf steal-ruled die from EK Success to cut out green and natural colored burlap leaves.  The Burlap BirdsNest Flowers were spritzed with Red Chillies Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and allowed to dry.  The Daisy Layers Burlap Canvas Flowers (printed) were sprayed with Dijon Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and allowed to dry.

The Birds Nest flowers were layered onto the printed flower with fabric glue.  The burlap leaves were arranged around the edge of the grouping and glued in place.  Yarn and wax string were looped together into a bow and added.  The sleigh charm was added to a piece of leftover string, knotted at the end and then glued below the bow.

Red ric-rac from my stash was added to tie in with the red wax string.  The pocket on the front is nice and roomy and ready for display in the kitchen or wearing with making Christmas goodies!

Pretty apron project. I love the color of the flowers. Are the flowers pinned on so they can be removed to wash the apron? A pocket is a great idea. I would also make a matching hair clip and keep it in the apron pocket. (I like to tie my hair back when cooking.)

What a great stylish apron, love the flowers and the details like the charm.

Very pretty apron. I really love those flowers you added to the project. Such a festive way to put some joy into Christmas. Thanks for sharing.

Cute and festive. I think I'd make the flowers and leaves as pin on accents so that the apron could be cleaned.
