 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!

This is so pretty! I'd be afraid to use it so I would hang it on my wall with a couple of cards or recipes hanging in the pocket. Very clever! And I can't wait to get my hands on those burlap flowers - so in love with them!

I never thought of misting fabric. Does it wash out?
