Three New Aprons

I decided an oven mitt should be added to the apron sets.  For the oven mitt, I used heat resistant reflective batting as one part of the inner lining.The other side of the inner lining is regular batting. I quilted each side of the oven mitt, before sewing the two sides together.  The oven mitt's other side is the pink gingham.  This fabric is black background with pink and green flowers, a copy of a vintage calico fabric.  The pink gingham was used to accessorize. 


This is a commissioned apron.  The customer asked that I make oven mitt and potholders (no coasters).  The customer found an old David Miller fabric in my stash called Strawberry Fields.  The contrast is a solid pale sage green, with double pockets in a striped fabric my husband refers to as "Barcode." LOL.


This apron was commissioned by a customer.  This fabric is called Coventry Garden by Hoffman.  The contrast is a dark teal that matches one color in the print fabric.  This apron was cut to a length of 17 inches, and the 2 inch ruffle added to bring it to 19 inches.  The reason was because the wearer it is intended for is petite, and the apron needed to be shorter.
