I'm a week late on my giveaway promise, but better late than never!
I saw this post over at Quilting Mick during the week, and got all inspired to whip out the mens shirt that had been hiding in the stash (my BIL didn't like the colour of the stripes so it ended up in my chop up pile)
I haven't seen the Betz White book, so I just split the shirt at the seams, and reconstructed it to create a half apron. Frances is a bit too skinny to show the proper proportions, but the apron body goes all the way around to her back, and the straps are extra long. This apron will fit any size.
If you would like to win it for yourself, just leave a comment by Wednesday night - 8 PM Melbourne time..... simple as that!

Frances appears to be a tad skinnier and a hell of a lot taller than me - but I LOVE her get-up (and please count me in)!

Oh yes please. I was heartbroken that someone beat me to your fabulous little donkey apron at the market last saturday... though I'm thoroughtly enjoying my other curlypops loot! A shirt apron would be a nice addition, hope it finds a good home. At my place!
