finally

finished!

98 aprons:


294m of twill tape

70m of pink gingham

10m pink fabric for pockets

30m of pink ribbon

2500 yds cotton thread

endless cups of tea, quite a lot of chocolate, lots of late nights, too much unpicking to mention, 4 trips to buy supplies, 2 internet orders (would have helped if I'd added up right so I could order enough the 1st time....) some star helpers - my mum who did some ironing so K and E had clean school uniform, my sister in law who cut out and ironed some aprons, and my hubby who kept me sane - (well almost) throughout, and now a fat cheque for breast cancer care.


oh and lots of pink scraps left over,

bunting anyone......

    Congratulations! Now if you had mentioned earlier that you were having tea and chocolate, I would have been there in a flash to help!
    Great job!
