12 Crafts of Christmas - Gift Idea - Mommy & Me Aprons!

Yes I know I've pretty much just skipped over Halloween and Thanksgiving, but we've all got to get started on those homemade Christmas presents right?!

Here is a great gift idea for a mother and daughter
{or any woman for that matter}

A set of Mommy & Me aprons!

What little girl wouldn't just love an apron that matches moms!
This creation took me a few hours of sewing, and $0.00!  Yep, zip, zilch, nada!

I made it out of an old shirt of the hubbys and a purple pillowcase.
One shirt made both of these aprons, Awesome!
{and remember. . .my sewing skills are limited basically to just sewing a straight line, so this would be an easy gift for anyone to make!}

I just love the little girl apron, so cute!
How much fun my little niece will have all dressed up like mommy in the kitchen!

I added these fun little flower pins that they can remove when they throw the aprons in the wash.

Add a cookie mix, a mommy sized spatula, and a little spatula and there you have one cute-thoughtful-made just-for-me gift!

PS - I don't have a tutorial for the aprons cuz I just made it up as I went along but I do know of this site with 50 free apron patterns.  Hop on over and find one you like!

So there you have it, one great idea to start making for someone on your list.
Merry preparing for Christmas. . . It'll be here before we know it!
