This kind of reminds me of a poster I saw in the Canadian forces museum on Juno beach. An infantryman, a sailor and a lady (looking suspiciously like Rosie the Riveter) holding a trowel adorned it, with the caption "Advance on all Fronts!".

I haven't even had a chance to watch it to the end yet and I've already liked it because I know I'm going to like it!

[@SewBiased]

Awww, thanks so much!!! 🧡🧡🧡

I used the back of wrapping paper that has the squares already on it. It was still a very time consuming process

[@shirleychase1033]

Thank you for putting this out. With the economy being so bad, and it doesn't look like it will be getting better soon, many people will be going back to what our parents/grandparents did to survive.

What a useful tool this apron is! Also your makeup looks 👍👍👍 today!

[@SewBiased]

Thanks! You got to see the aftermath at rehearsal!

[@ThistlenStitches]

How cute and functional! I imagine this would get lots of use in the Victory garden and collecting the chicken eggs!!

[@SewBiased]

I don't have any chickens, but it would be great for tons of seed packages and potatoes!

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

What a neat project. I love this series!

[@SewBiased]

So glad you're enjoying it, there's more being added all the time!

The apron would be great for getting the eggs out of the chicken coop.

There are patterns for egg aprons which have a pocket for each individual egg
