So -- for this special TMBC/LSD...the plan was that all four of us would be making Mary Mulari's Criss-Cross apron...
When Mary was working on this design, I told her THIS WAS my Grandma Little's favorite apron. I wish I had a picture to show you...but Grandma Little was about 5 ft. tall, and I'm pretty sure she weighed over 300 pounds. I remember her as a completely round person. So, there was no possible way she could have tied an apron behind her back!
Except for funerals or special occasions, she ALWAYS wore a criss-cross apron....every single day. When I was a kid, I never thought about Grandma's aprons much...but I'm pretty sure they were all made out of chicken feed fabrics.

| I already know I love this apron...because Mary made THIS ONE for me last year at our retreat -- and I wear it all the time. |
To make the apron reversible -- you need to cut out both sides, then do any embellishments, i.e., pockets -- BEFORE you smack the two of them together.
 |
| I did one zebra pocket - and one flowered pocket trimmed with zebra. |
 |
| For the zebra side, I made two zebra pockets... |
 |
| THEN, you put right sides together... |
 |
| Mary's instructions were, as always, PERFECT. |
 |
| And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this criss-cross apron!! |
THANK YOU, MARY...!! WOW -- that first apron went together really fast....it must be time for lunch...
