I found two embroidered doilies at a local church rummage sale that I immediately fell in love with.


The petite flower were so delicate and the colors reminded me of afternoon tea. At less than a dollar each I didn't mind experimenting with my own sewing creation. I decided that EJ needed her own monogrammed apron.

It was quite simple. I cut both doilies in half, embroidered an E on the smaller one. sewed the smaller to the larger to make a pocket, and then added binding to the top to make a tie.


EJ was ready to start baking cookies the first time she tied it on.

I love the whimsical feel it brings to our cooking sessions.
