Boy’s Apron in 2 hours…Yikes!

The difficult part of this project was not the time limit, because I had most of the materials on hand, the shape is very simple and the overlocker was threaded with the right colour. It was getting inspiration for a motif that was the tricky part. I only have girls and for this sort of thing girls are easy peasy. A girl will always go for a ‘love heart’ or a butterfly or some such cheesy thing, but how am I supposed to reproduce ‘Ben 10′. Imagine an applique ‘Transformer’!! I don’t have enough vliesofix for that! So I panicked and googled to see what other people were doing. I could have flagrantly ripped off a groovy little monster applique but I’m usually a little concerned about the application of the motif with the wearer, so in the end little 5 year old Methusela got an ‘M’. He was happy. Mission accomplished. Phew!
