Sew Mama Sew have collected a huge amount of tutorials and ideas for you to make Christmas/Holidays presents. And I am really thrilled to have been asked to share my apron tutorial. So go on over and check it out.
And to all those who are visiting me for the first time - welcome! To celebrate all the new visitors (nearly 400 of you today!!!) I think I should do a give away. Write me a quick hello and I'll draw out a winner on Sunday night - November 4th.
I think the give away really needs to be an apron. I'm working on a few different apron designs so I'll surprise you with something new.
I'd better get to it!

Love the apron tutorial, especially the step by step photos. I'm more a picture rather than a word person. Thanks. Also thanks for giving your measurements, they sound ideal for my Japanese mother-in-law. Hopefully she will use the gift instead of putting it in the glory box this time.
Congratulations Louise on your apron mention! Now, lots more people will know what we already know -- how fabulous you are!!! ;-)
Your apron tutorial is great, I really like your site, I'm here for the first time today.
Greetings from Germany, Iris
Congrats Louise! I love that apron, the colours are just wonderful, such a beautiful design. Looking forward to clicking on to the tutorial!

I've been reading your blog for a while so when I saw your apron on sew mama sew yesterday I was very impressed, and came here to congratulate you. it looks great, and how amazing to be included in such a great idea. only problem is I'm a day behind already...
Congratulations on being selected. Your apron looks soooo delicious!
Aprons are wonderful, I think more people should wear them. I love my aprons that's for sure. I love reading your blog and the best bit is you're from Melbourne just like me...Keep up the fantastic work!

Awesome apron - enough to make me spend more time in the kitchen. Love that BIG BIG ric-rac too!
I had already seen your tutorial at Sew Mama Sew - Well done.
As I already have one of your gorgeous aprons, you can leave me out of the draw - I love that fabric that you have in the photo - I have just bought some more of that one - not sure what to make - maybe an apron!!!
well done on being featured louise, your a star!!!
i am new to your site and love it!!! lovely apron tutorial!!!

Hey Louise! Well done. I think this idea of Kristin and Beth's is fantastic. I love a bit of Christmas craft, but let's not go there ....
I'm so excited about SMS's tutorials. The apron is adorable - I love the fabric.
Well done on having your apron featured - it deserves to be - it is fab.

Well done, Louise! That's a whole lot of visitors. No need to put me in the draw, since I already received stuff from you in the swap. Fab apron, as always!
I just started reading your blog yesterday!! how exciting is that?
Ooh yes, stick my name in the hat. I thought of your apron tutorial yesterday as my son bought home a letter from school with a list of things he needs for cooking. One of them is an apron and he has rather outgrown his Thomas the Tank Engine one. I briefly thought about making one, but haven't got a clue how to do it so I remembered your tutorial. I chuckled at the though of getting him to wear a pretty pinny! Poor thing, I will be buying him a boys apron in town next week!
Beautiful, clear directions! Thank you for sharing your creativity. I can't wait to make this one!
I have a new site to add to my *favorites* :)
Thank you for the fantastic tutorial!
