I got motivated to meet the January Handmade Christmas Challenge, hosted by SewCalGal.
I had to make something quick since today is the last day of the linky party and came up with a Christmas Apron! Wouldn't you love to receive a cute new apron along with some darling measuring spoons or even a Jar of Cookie Mix or potholder?
Cookie Mix Tutorial can be found here.

Here's a tutorial in case you want to make an apron too!
 |
| You need about 1 yard of fabric. Cut into this shape and these dimensions. 25" across the bottom. Side length is 21" |
 |
| Along all edges, press raw edge in 1/4 inch and then fold and press in 1/2 inch and stitch down to create a finished hem all the way around. |
 |
| Cut neck strap and ties. Three strips 23" x 2 1/2" |
 |
| Press the raw edges in 1/4" and then press in half lengthwise and topstitch the strip closed. |
 |
 |
| Pin neck strip 1/2" in from top lining up strap on each side. |
 |
| Pin ties to each side |
 |
| Stitch the ties and neck band in place using this shape of stitching (a box with an "X" through it) |
