DIY Apron For Boys

The older the boys get, the harder it is to come up with a homemade gift for them.  I had the idea for my niece's night light dialed in by the end of November, but was having a heck of a time coming up with something for my nephew.  He had a cookbook on his Christmas wish list, which I had already ordered, and after talking to my sister about it one day, she mentioned he'd like to have his own apron.  Done and done.

I went into my stash again, and ended up using leftover fabric from the shield pillow I made him last year, as well as a piece I bought years ago 'cause I thought it was cute, that I used for one of the pockets.

I've made aprons before, but I wanted to try a reversible one, so I looked at a couple tutorials online.  I wanted to add a pocket to both sides, so I did what I usually do when I decide to sew something, fake it till ya make it.

Here's how it turned out:

I wrapped it up with his cookbook, with a note inside telling him I expected an invite to dinner.  :o)
