I like to cook with an apron. Hunting down the right fabrics at the fabric store takes both perseverance and flexibility. You have to start with a concept in mind and see what can meet the original idea. I didn't want a black calico with a print that would take away from its blackness unless it was printed with red design. No red design on black, but I settled on this small subtle print of circles and dashes. The store also didn't have a plain checkerboard for the chess symbolism so I decided the diamond checkered pattern could work as a skewed perspective. This red calico - I love! It's perfect. Both the background and the print have ranges in red giving it interest and depth.
My official first project for my embroidery machine, a gift from my "Edward," is this apron. I'm sure you get the words. Now to get started with the first recipe - onward!
