Wondered if you make the easy tube type cases? I make these for my two grandsons in FL as a way of staying in touch. They are so easy and finish off the seams nicely. You can go here to see the video if interested (unless of course you already know about this):<br />http://www.youtube.com/missouriquiltco#p/search/0/MrYWCma9wgMKaren L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11803082902611080914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-92227480437610549302011-11-20T18:24:33.828-06:002011-11-20T18:24:33.828-06:00Patty - Thank you!

Now where's the one you made?? Hmmm?<br /><br />Carolyn Renee - I know well from experience that one thing that takes A LOT of time is (are?) ruffles! (Let alone lots of fabric.) I'm sure it will be thing of beauty when you're done!<br /><br />Leigh - Thanks, Leigh. When we're in the middle of something like home building or a remodel, it seems like we'll never have the time (and energy) to do things like knit, sew, paint, weave . . . all those personally rewarding things that go by the wayside because of THE BIG PROJECT! Ugh.<br /><br />dr momi - Can't say I believe my apron is really "thinning." It just covers up a lot with straight lines!<br /><br />Jen - I think wearing an apron regularly is a habit you have to get into.

They always look like something that would be a fire hazard around an open flame.<br /><br />Erin - I had a good guffaw at Finn's description of your apron!

Of course, I have several more square inches of chest to cover. Maybe some stretchy material in the center would help.

That has to be a first. Everything in my kitchen adds poundage. A question: why is there such a thing as a half apron? There are some really cute ones out there. Maybe they work for people who aren't so messy but I need the full frontal coverage. And I hate when I have forgotten that I don't have an apron on and wipe my hands down my pant legs.

It was at about my shoulder blade level so I couldn't tie it. Do you know Papa Pea could. not. tie. it?
