Dish Towel Apron



One of my really good friends' birthday is coming up and I thought it would be fun to make her something. Last year she asked me to make her an apron and, well, I just got lazy and didn't do it. So this year I decided I would actually grant her wish. lol. Let's just hope she likes the final product!
Over the flower I painted "To Mi Amor." My friend is from Guatemala and her and her husband always call each other "mi amor" or "my love." Well, I started calling her "mi amor" just to be funny and it's really stuck. So I thought it would be great to add to the apron. I think it's a lot funnier in person. lol.

I was actually surprised at how fast it was to cut out the different stencils (the flower was done twice -- once in yellow and then in blue slightly offset). I'm excited to try the technique on some shirts next time.

How nice! You'll have to share exactly how you made it. It seems like a really good idea. You make me smile, Ollie.
