Made With Love By Hannah

Made With Love By Hannah created this oilcloth apron bonnet with our Pears and Apples Red print! She says that she thought "a waterproof oilcloth apron bonnet [would] be useful for working in the yard when it's drizzling, or for collecting muddy stuff from the garden." Now that it's getting to be that time of the year, when the weather is a bit cold and wet, we think that this is the perfect oilcloth project! Click here to learn how to make your very own oilcloth apron bonnet and be sure to send us any of your oilcloth creations! Check out Hannah's blog Knick Knacks & Ric Rac!
