Birdie Apron
I love making aprons for both myself and to give as gifts. For Christmas this year, I made this "bitdie" apron for one of my friends who loves birds. I purchased the bird fabric at JoAnn's a few years ago and remembered that I had it in my stash. It has light green vines in it and some rust colored flowers. So I lined the apron with a light green, making it reversible and added some rust fabric for the pockets and ties.I had a cute bird stamp that I wanted to use to make a card to match the gift, but after stamping it in a lot of different colors, it just didn't have the look I was after. So I made the card from a piece of the bird fabric! I ironed on some fusible interfacing and then ran it through the Big Shot with a stitched circle die. I like how it turned out. Now it matches the apron.
I sewed some little birds to match the apron and added some buttons for embellishments. The birds can be either hung or placed in a display. Then I made a little pincushion that also has the robin on it. I added some lace and buttons to that. I love how it all came together. :)
