I have been fortunate recently to have sold most of my vegetable-themed home-made aprons. My stocks depleted, I got sewing and made this latest version - a green bean glut apron. Here it is - lots of beans!
Pretty much as soon as this one was made, I sold it as well - it seems that these aprons are quite popular as Christmas gifts for which I am very grateful. I am holding some back too for gifts to my friends and family. I will need to get a wriggle on sewing up a few more.
I am part the way through making an apron from some cucumber slices fabric as well. Many people think that they are zucchini slices - zucchini, cucumber... I don't know. It will have a bright green contrasting fabric for the neck piece and bias.
I have more fabric of this ilk - I have recently bought some onion and garlic fabric - I think the onion is the best one.
I think I should make some man aprons - what do you think? Much more suitable for tong wielding BBQers than the awful aprons that many of our outdoor chefs wear don't you think? I will have to find a good man apron pattern. Perhaps with a tag for hanging tongs?
And I also have fabric that is a glut of corn cobs. I will make that into an apron the same style as the green bean one but this fabric is a little more restrained it might suit a wearer who finds my other versions a little too bright?
I am contributing this to My Creative Space - see what others have been tinkering with.
What have you been making for Chrsitmas gifts? Jams, pickles, aprons, socks, oven gloves?

Very cool 'vege' fabrics and so appropriate. Great aprons.

Thank you Ren, must look at your site.
DeleteI do love your aprons. I have been attempting to make some limoncello, but it involves a lot of time steeping the rind in vodka and I have no idea yet whether it will work or not. Having said that lemon rind and vodka - can't really go wrong...
ReplyDeleteOh I like the limoncello as Christmas gift idea! I think Bek was making some too? You'll have to blog on how it goes.
DeleteGreat vegetables aprons, I like the onions fabric:)
ReplyDeleteOh thanks, I like the onion one too. It is duller than the other fabric I have used but those onions look so fat!
DeleteMan, I love those vegetable materials you have obtained and I love the vegetable aprons. Those are great! I am glad they are selling well for you. I would want one for under my tree.
ReplyDeleteOh thanks,Its getting harder to find the fabric actually! I need to go hunting for it in more distant stores.
