Kids Clothes Week Challenge - Gift #1 Apron

One of my goals is to start making handmade birthday gifts. I swear we attend a gazillion birthdays well not a gazillion but seriously between the 2 kids we've been attended 10 birthdays already this year. Sometimes I think to myself I could make something way better than what I just bought and the kid would like it too. There are so many cool ideas of handmade gifts for children on the net that there is no reason for me not to give this a go. Not everyone will get some handmade goodness - I'm not going that die-hard but quite a few will receive gifts made by me. I will definitely involve the kids when I can so it can be a family affair. They already make handmade cards.
I came across this cute apron tutorial by Skip to My Lou and knew I had to try it. This will be given to one of my son's 4 year old friends. She uses a flower for embellishment but I think I will add some bows made from ribbon. The pics are not that fab - I had a get together at my home yesterday for my baby sister so I snapped pics quickly and got back to food and house prep. We celebrated my her graduation from Clark Atlanta University- she received her master's degree in computer science. You go chica! Back to the apron.



Oh and I think I am going to continue with the Kids Clothes Week Challenge for a few more days.
