Im just so darned proud of myself. This is the most real sewing I have ever done. Next I just might tackle a zipper *wink*.

WOW.....Have Apron, Will Travel!!!!!

That is really, really cool. Is it a permanent backpack, or does it unfold to an apron again? I think it is wonderful. You did a great job!!!

I would be glad to share. There is more info. on my blog. But to answer your question Georgann, no it doesnt turn back into an apron. I sure wish it did as I hate, absolutely hate cutting into my aprons. Hmmm....gotta work on that next. How great would that be to be able to take some fixings in your backpack to a camp site, unload, and put on the apron and start cooking. OK, my mind is racing now.

Absolutly a great idea! Perhaps, velcro or button flaps to undo to use as a apron again. HMMMM?

This is just SO neat! Eren - you MUST keep us posted on the apron/backpack conversion idea - I cannot think of a better way to carry a picnic!

XOXO, Libbie

Eren, you did a wonderful job converting your apron into a backpack. I like your choices for the top closure area and the straps. They look wonderful wit hteh original apron. I ahve to go check this out on your blog. You are so inspiring.
