Aprons Every Month...except one...

For Christmas, I wanted to give my sister an apron for every month/holiday of the year.  I was able to find fabrics in my stash and some in the store, except for January!  I will continue to look for Happy New Year fabric to make her that apron.  I made them all different - some are gathered, some have lace, some have ribbons, some have rickrack, in other words, I had a lot of fun playing in my stash.  LOL

February - hearts and ruffles - Valentine's Day

March - shamrocks - St. Patrick's Day

April - eggs - Easter 

May - flowers - May Day

June was a little more difficult - a month for brides, but she's not a bride, so I thought about it and realized that we have Junebugs...but I don't like insects, except butterflies...and I had the fabric right in my stash. 

July - Fireworks - Independence Day

August - watermelons and strawberries - Summer

September - green leaves turning to brown - School starts

October - pumpkin patches - Halloween

November - fall colors - Thanksgiving

(note that September and November's aprons are the same fabrics, only opposites)

December - Baby Jesus, gingerbread, good food, family, church - Christmas!
