I love aprons. When I bake I think slipping on an apron adds an extra special ingredient to any recipe. I made this John Deere apron for a cupcake themed birthday present. The entire apron pattern purchased at JoAnne's, pre-printed, and only rquired cutting and sewing for assembly. I added a little extra dazzle with rhinestones randomly bedezzaled and a piece of lace sewn at the bottom. And why did I choose a John Deere apron? Well in college we both took a tractor driving class together at UC Davis and yes we actually drove a tractor and learned how to change a tractor driver. A significant skill to know in the wilds of Los Angeles.

| The apron started with this... |

| No pattern needed! Just cut and sew! And yes, it was that easy! |

| . . . .and ended as this! |
I completed the birthday gift with the addition of fun cupcake liners, sprinkles, and a cupcake recipe book. I highly recommend Karen Tack and Alan Richardson's whimsical cupcake recipe books,
