It could be used around the waist or fastened onto your bucket while you were weeding, to have everything close at hand. The person that recieved it was Kathy and she seemed to be pleased with it. I also made one for D for a Chrissie present. Take care all Gill X _________________ "can u ear me muther" Back to top Jesse Site Admin Joined: 02 Feb 2006 Posts: 2188 Location: West Sussex Posted: 28 Mar 2006 09:20 am Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Can anyone post a photo of it? I've found a gardening apron here http://www.sewing.org/enthusiast/html/ef_gardeningapron.html which I thought was quite nice and something I might make as a christmas present, not sure who to give it to though.

You've finally given me the idea that maybe I could make one. I haven't used a sowing machine since HE at school (about 17 years ago!) and I wasn't very good then. But I must try it, if MIL will lend me her machine! I also need to make a cover for a chair (it's orange, in our purple room!) _________________ The quiet power of growing things is truly magical Back to top Lottie Evergreen Joined: 16 Feb 2006 Posts: 740 Posted: 03 Apr 2006 01:59 pm Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go for it Aqui - I am still dithering about attempting to make an apron - too many other things going on instead that are new and exciting. Blame it on the great people on this site and all the ideas. _________________ I am at that purple age! Back to top |

I made for my father's birthday, a hamper of home made produce. Hope to do the same for Christmas presents too shortly. Chutney, sauces, pickles, pate's and a few cheeses with packets of cheese bickies. Oh, and pesto of course.
