Months ago, my friend Beth had a birthday. I didn't forget it exactly - I just didn't finish (or even start) her gift on time.
Beth came to visit me a couple of weeks ago, and I planned to have her gift ready for her. I would have, too - if I hadn't put the darn pocket on crooked.
I finished it a couple of days ago, and added the raw edged ruffle on the bottom - which I love, but I think will drive Beth crazy with the loose threads. Sorry Beth! I bought this fabric back in February when I went to Portsmouth, NH to celebrate birthdays with the February Five. Of course I had no idea then what I would do with the fabric, but I like what it became. I hope Beth will too.
Oh - and I didn't use a pattern; I traced around a Williams-Sonoma apron that I use, and then modified it a little to make it longer.
That is absolutely gorgeous! And no pattern? Wow!! Nicely done. Beth is a very lucky gal indeed.
