My Mom had seen and admired my wrap butcher aprons on her last visit to MA, and she even asked me to make her one in a fabric that she loves. She told me, "I will pay for it of course!" And I told her that it could be her Mother's Day present! I am so happy when I can give a gift that I know the other person wants :)
The fabric that she was interested in was "Mamma Bird" by Valori Wells and the Wrenly collections. I love it and I have used it before. I had actually wanted to make her a cobbler apron in this print for Christmas last year, but when I was shopping for fabric it was out of stock.
I think this print is especially appropriate for her because of the mama bird perched with her three babies - I have two sisters, so it immediately made me think of my Mom and my sisters!
I finished the apron today, and I snapped a couple of quick pictures before I packaged it up for her. You will have to forgive the amateurish photos. I didn't have time to set up my photo back drop and dress form!

I love how it turned out and I hope my Mom likes it too. I just hope it isn't too big. She is a little bit smaller than me!
