Dish towel apron...sort of

Action shot...and eyes closed! Surprised? I'm not! he he.

Random back shot!

Well, lately I've been really crazy over some do-it-yourself domestic crafts. Hence the homemade Christmas (well...we didn't have a lot of money for Christmas anyway.he he) but I came across an idea on a blog by using a dish towel for a child's apron. Well, of course they are too big for toddlers but anyway I was looking at ALL the stores for cute, INEXPENSIVE dish towels. Majority of the stores had boring, plain colored terry-cloth style towels. I found a cute valentine's dish-towel but you had to buy two for 5.99. RIP OFF. So I went to the fabric store and tried to find fabric similar to the non-terry cloth dish towels instead. Well, because I needed less than a 1/2 a yard it was going to be cheap. But then there were so many options, I couldn't decide on one. Then I saw a leopard print. And then I forgot I had purchased some leopard print in New Zealand 3 years ago! And it was the right stiffness...not necessarily dish towel like material but it was perfect. So I didnt' have to buy anything to make it. I'm so good. he he. So I got to it. It might look dorky but I'm pretty proud of my creation! And Charlotte LOVES wearing it. She looks so cute in it : ) Check out my favorite links for ideas on those blogs. I just came across today "Just a girl". That lady is so stinkin' funny. She's got great ideas too.
