My brother's fiance likes to cook, my brother likes to eat, so I got her a couple of cookbooks for Christmas and tried my hand at sewing this apron from this blog here

I've never sewed anything before (I only learned to use the sewing machine to quilt) so I was really surprised to finish it an hour as the blogger said..it is very simple, so if anyone is looking for a quick gift, give it a shot, if I managed to make it, I am sure anyone can.
