Finish Apron: check!

Who says aprons can't be pretty?

Way back in October, I started making myself an apron. I spent one day on it, and was mostly done...I just had to make and attach the straps. But, after that day, I got really busy and I hadn't worked on it again...until yesterday. (So much for making these as Christmas gifts, as was the original plan). But, it's done, and I love it. I've never had or used an apron before, but lately I've found myself wanting/needing one, even to wear while bathing the boys. I have the supplies to make another one, too. From the same pattern (Butterick 4945), but a different style and different fabrics. So excited.

" What? Bling on an apron?", you ask. Yep.
