Isn't it always amazing what can be made from a litle scrap of fabric? Whether it's used in patchwork, or to make something for ourselves,(bag, purse etc) or for a child.
I've had this bit of material for ages, left over from making pillowcases I think - but it's grand for a child's apron - what used to be called a pinny...remember them? I'm sure I've seen old (black and white) photos of when we were children, wearing pinnies to keep our clothes clean. I guess washing clothes was much more of a drudge then...no way we'd give up modern washing machines...it's horrendous if they break down.
I might make one for Georgia though (this one's too small) because she loves baking, especially chocolate cake, and there's an awful mess, as you can imagine.

Lovely apron, i really like the colour. I find pieces of cloth of all textures useful for my card making, it makes for some very original designs.
But like Mary above I could not do without my washing machine.
