Garden Apron Party Favors

Garden aprons and 2 things you might not know about me.

First, in addition to being a thrift store shopper, we {the husband and I} are flea market groupies. We go to 2 flea markets a month and have befriended several vendors.

One vendor, I begrudgingly befriended, after I shunned him for a few months because he ignored my inquiry to buy his Richard Scary Puzzletown characters.

I begrudgingly befriended him when I noticed his lovely collection of vintage fabrics. He had yards and yards of fabrics priced to sell. All the vintage loveliness below, approximately 30 yards of fabric for $12!

My husband, who either knows me too well, or not well enough, suggested that I should turn this vintage floral fabric into gardening aprons for each guest we invited to Grace's garden themed birthday party.

How many guests, did you ask, had we invited to Grace's garden themed party? 14.

Of course, after he made that suggestion, he quickly retracted his suggestion claiming there was no way I would be able to finish 14 aprons.

When challenged, I will do what it takes to prove you wrong.

As soon as we got home from the flea market, I started cutting, ironing and prepping the aprons.

Each apron included pleating detail. I mean, I can't just make aprons to prove my competency to my darling husband. This required wowing him.

One day later, 14 pleated garden aprons were complete.

All 14 aprons were then nestled inside the flower punch box.

Once they were punched free, 14 little girls enjoyed our garden party in their vintage flower aprons.
