pay it forward project #3

my friend lacy is a cupcake guru. when we lived in the same city, she used to make delicious mint chocolate cupcakes with chocolate cream in the center topped with ande's. so, for her crafting project, i made an apron with a cupcake applique for pocket.

pattern used: mccall's m5825, view c (second from left):

applique used: i browsed online for cupcake images, and drew a very simple design involving 3 pieces of fabric scraps, and placed it on the right hand side of the apron instead of two pockets. red felt for cherry; cream faux suede for ...cream lol; brown wool for stump.

mmmmmm could be better...

fabric: black & white checked gingham, 100% cotton

notions: vintage red button (3/4") from ebay and red thread for decorative stitching @ the hem and buttonhole

here's the semi-finished apron (still need to put a bow on it!):

yay! cute :)
