This is one of the most practical aprons I've found yet!

As I was looking for Designer Aprons on the web today.  

Go to Mother Huddle to find all the instructuons on how to make it!

Here is what she says, "One of my pet peeves while cooking is not being able to find a hot pad.  My other pet peeve is only being able to find one when I need two.  So I got to thinking….what if I put hot pads on the bottom of my apron?  I tried to add some to an existing apron, but it was not wide enough, or long enough to work.  Then I remembered I had promised a tutorial for an apron you can make with one yard of fabric.  So I found a yard of fabric in my stash and went to work.  I absolutely love the way that it turned out!!  Plus it has hot pads in the bottom corner built in so you can grab that pan off the stove or take your pie out of the oven without having to search for your hot pads….perfect!"

I think I'll try to make one soon.

I'd like to introduce you to Cynthia

This past weekend I went to visit my sisters to plan a 50th wedding anniversary party for my parents.  I don't get to see my sisters often enough so when I do I enjoy taking a little gift.  Guess what I took this time?  Yep...a designer apron made by yours truly.  I've posted an article on my website on how to make this little beauty yourself.  Check it out at Designer Aprons.  Here is a picture of Cynthia in her new apron preparing a couple of crock pots of chili, one of her specialties.  Perfect for these cool Autumn evenings!

 

More stories to come!
