More sewing

This is a picture of the pair of aprons I made for some newlywed friends. They've told us they want to cook together the way we do, so our wedding presents to them had that in mind. In addition to the aprons, we gave them a microplane and a really good vegetable peeler plus a jar of our hot red pepper flake-infused olive oil. We've found the peeler, the microplane and oil indispensable in the kitchen.

He's an interesting guy in that he has very clear ideas of what constitutes girly and therefore inappropriate for men. So even though I found some really cool fabric that was more kitchen-y, I didn't buy it because I figured he would think it was too girly, and he wouldn't use the apron. So they each get a nice, neutral seersucker fabric instead!
