MissionaryAprons

Hi, I'm Stephanie, and my favorite hobby is creating on my sewing/embroidery machine.

I bought a black apron at a local craft store because I thought it would hide any spills and stains better than a white one. I was about to embroider his name and mission on the apron when my oldest daughter made the suggestion that I ought to make it look like his black name tag. What a great idea! I embroidered him my first missionary apron. I made his apron to look exactly like his name tag, church logo and all. It turned out so nice that I spoke with my husband about the ...Read More
