Sweet Bird and Leaf Apron Mudpie Giveaway!!!

CLOSED, CONGRATULATIONS AUNGIE!!!

Well it's now Sunday night and it has been miserable weather all weekend... I had some lovely new mulch to put out, but it kept drizzling on and off and it was cold and cloudy and for once I just didn't really feel like being outside. So... I stayed inside and sewed instead!
So to celebrate my wonderous sewing achievement, I am giving away this little Bird and Leaf apron that I made over the weekend. I was in Spotlight on Friday looking at material for a dress I wanted to make, and when I came across this pink material with the little birds on it... I just fell in love. I do adore pink, and the birds are really cute. I was looking for something to contrast with it and thought the brown material was just perfect, it matches the brown birds and the blue is the same colour as my favourite buttons, the ones I always buy when I go to Spotlight.

The birds and leaves reminded me of seeds and growing, and it inspired me to make an apron to keep my seeds in while I was gardening. I rarely wear things with pockets, and am forever traipsing back upstairs to get seeds.

I have made it small so it doesn't interfere with movement, especially getting up and down, and the front pocket is divided into two, I would put seeds on one side and paddle pop sticks in the other (I write the names of what I've planted and mark my seeds with them). You could also use on of the pockets to put your mobile phone into, I usually leave mine upstairs, but if I am expecting a call it's good to have with me.

I slaved over this apron! It really tested my poor little pea brain out. Anyone who can sew will be laughing at me right now, but this is the first thing I have ever sewn (I lie, I sewed a patchwork cushion in high school), and I was so bursting with pride and wanting to show it off. I took a lot of care over it too, so hopefully it won't fall apart too quickly.

And may I just say, that I had no idea that sewing machines had a function to sew buttons on. It's possibly the most exciting discovery I have made all year.

To enter yourself in the giveaway, all you have to do is either leave a comment on my blog, or link my blog to yours. Or you can do both :)
