Mystery Present

Oh Britex, how you tempt me with your siren's call of four floors full of textiles.


I stopped in for something else entirely, but when I turned the corner onto the second floor I was stopped in my tracks by this bolt of fabric. I can only describe it as so cute it makes my eyeballs hurt. I knew I had to make something with it and give it to a friend.

Some thinking and an afternoon of hard work later, I had made a three-pocket skirt apron.

Inadvertently, I hade made the apron reversible! It was too late to add more embellishments, but it occured to me that three small square pockets in the patterned fabric would have been a great addtion.

All folded up and ready to go. It's hard to part with it, but the only reason I sew is because I find it fun and I like sharing little things with my friends. What am I going to do with a bunch of homemade stuff? Better to spread the love.
