Part 1 Homemade Christmas

There will be three consecutive posts about the gifts my children gave to each other, with the help of mom.

The oldest and the youngest got together and gave my middle daughter this lady-bug apron. She just loves ladybugs, so they figured she would like this a lot. The oldest daughter is modeling it for these photos because it was still a secret when these photos where taken.

The pattern is my own design. It fits children from about 5 to 11 (those are the ages of my children, and it fits all of them and would probably fit the oldest even if she was about 14 years old. On the older daughter, it is a little above the knees; on the youngest, a little below the knees. If people are interested in the pattern, I can draft up written instructions and such. There would be a little delay in this because I have not written the instructions as of yet, and it would cost about $15.00 per pattern

  1. Oh, this is adorable! I love it! :) You never mentioned if the middle child liked it or not. I guess it is to be assumed that she did as she likes lady bugs. Well, you are very creative.
