This cute little book, The Perfect Apron: 35 Fun and Flirty Designs for You to Make by Robert Merrett (http://amzn.com/1906525358), I got at the library and found a project perfect for the little men in my life. The book had the patterns in the back and I copied it to large butcher paper to keep for future projects.
I cut the appliqués and bonded with fusing then stitched around them. The book used bias tape on all the projects’ edges. I chose to line it so that I didn’t have to buy the tape. It added another color.
Jake made a picture for me. That little Van Gogh.
