There'd be lots of photos of us wearing our coordinated outfits, smiling into the camera as she snuggles into my side. It would be cute...for a while. And then she'd turn into a teenager and resent me for squashing her toddler independence by making her dress like me and wouldn't speak to me outside of a growl or a shriek for 5 years. Perhaps it is better this way...
Oh well. They were still fun to make. The pockets are roomy and sturdy, reinforced by leftover denim.
The apron body is, of course, made from upcycled jeans and the pockets and trim are all from an upcycled pillowcase. I love the pillowcases with the accents on the cuff; they make for neat pockets.
We'll see if someone at the festival this weekend thinks the aprons are as cute as I do.

I laughed - girls are harder than boys. I share more with my daughter now that she is an adult than when she was young. They are an independent lot! My boys talked in their sleep so nothing escaped me - they never could figure that out. Love the aprons!
Maybe you will be like me and get the girls in the form of grandchildren. I think God knew what he was doing when he planned this for me, anyway. The girls, ages 6,6,4 are divas, my friend, DIVAS. I can enjoy them in all they ways you described....and then send them home with a smile to their parents!! It is truly the best of both worlds! The aprons are beautiful! Good luck this weekend!
Those aprons are just too, too adorable! The pillowcase pockets are a lovely touch.
Make a set with a hammer loop and a tool pocket and you and the boys can strut your stuff in matching aprons too!
Very cute aprons! Good luck at the festival.
Like you,, I have only boys,, and always thought it would be great to have a daughter,,, but t'was not meant to be!! So, I waited for a grandchild,, a beautiful boy!!! Never mind,, I have heard that girls are hard work, I know I was!!! Great little apron set though!!
For someone who doesn't have girls you sure have insight into the teen years. They're exactly like that !
I think your matching aprons ate very cool and Im sure some mother and daughter will think so too!
My daughter is 20 and is coming out the other side of the teenage years when I knew nothing! I am happy to report that most of my brain is now intact and she is a lovely young lady (most of the time, anyways!). your aprons are cute!
You have probably nailed the whole "if I had a girl" thing. I only had boys. I have always been told I was lucky...girls are so much harder.
I always picture the grand girl things. Sewing together the way I did with my grandma. These aprons are wonderful. They could also be "help Grandma cook aprons"...and I forgot to say, where one of the aprons for a visual at the booth.
I was the perfect mother of four perfect girls. They never prepared me for those two boys! That was during the age when people were saying there is no difference between girls and boys, it is just the way you treat them. NONSENSE! Son #1 came into the world with a broken "sit mechanism", and it was like feeding a windmill! I know God gave me those two boys to keep me humble.
