I wish I could put my hands on the apron I made my senior year of high school. The fabric was bright blue with green foliage, tropical birds, and you guessed it, FLAMINGOS! A lady at church gave me the fabric. She had it in her stash and didn't have anything to do with it, so when they asked for donations to help make items for the state competition, that arrived in my hands along with 2 others I used to make a shirt and pair of culottes. Of course, back then my sewing was terrible because I lacked practice. I think I wore the outfit once & gave it away, but I wore that apron until I got too big for it. It was only made for up to about a size 12 or 14 waist. In hindsight, I should have made it with ties instead of a button closure.
