Another Apron

Finally, I have finished sewing up another apron made from the fabric of a duvet cover I found in a charity shop. 

It might take me weeks, but I only stitch for short periods at a time and usually not every day.
The main thing is I enjoy the slow pace of hand-stitching and not having any pressure to finish something. 

I continue to declutter a little each day, and unearthed my mother's old china pincushion (the pins go in the back).  
I remember this frog from my girlhood and it has always intrigued me.
It is going to live in my own sewing box now.

  6. The apron is beautiful Margaret – what patience and talent you have to handstitch! And the frog is a treasure, indeed, how wonderful to have it in your own sewing box – I love things that are handed down. I have my grandmother’s sewing scissors, sweet memories.

  9. Beautiful apron, and so clever to recycle. People don’t wear aprons anymore. I love them I made mine with big pockets. So I can carry stuff

  10. Very pretty apron and I love that it has a nice good size pocket. We always need a pocket don't we?
