Here are some great Mother’s Day Gifts to Sew

A girly apron:These are all the rage and as a turn of events my mother made me one for Mother’s Day last year. I use it faithfully as I love a good apron. It doesn’t take long to put together and it’s cute AND practical.

• Sweater Apron: This is so ultra cute! It would probably soak up anything you spilled but line it and it could be practical and warm too!
• Leftover Fabric Apron: Have some fabric lying around? Make this apron.
• Cute Frilly Apron: Make a chic apron like the ones you see in the store for much more.
• Clean Sweep Apron: This is the kind of apron they use in the book [easyazon_link identifier=”0440503744″ locale=”US” tag=”mommybabytool-20″]Speed Cleaning[/easyazon_link]
• Felt Slippers: Leave it to Martha. These are cute though.
  Ballet Slippers: These are really cute.  These are the ones I made. Sorry about the Photobucket hosting stuff. I’m not sure if you can read past that but if you can these are great!
  Thong or Summer Slippers: I really like these because my feet get hot in the summer. I do wear regular sandals but these seem much cooler.
  Ultra Frilly cute Shower Cap. I used this pattern and made some shower caps last year for presents. They were greatly received.
  Cute Shower Cap. Or was this the pattern I used…
  Insulated Teapot Cozy Pattern: This cute cozy will keep your tea nice and warm.
  Teapot Cozy Pattern from Connecting Threads. Yay for tea parties!
