Aprons for an emergency.

With the new normal, the world needs so many of these essential items and quilters have stepped up to put their resources to good use. Inventing essential items with what they have on hand, even when supplies run low or out.
Found these pre printed aprons just before the lockdown was announced.  With time on hand, hubby is dealing with the it,  in his own way. 
The kitchen has been taken over,  he is baking bread, growing yeast from grapes and cooking up a storm.
 He is waking up very early and doing experiments in the kitchen,  albeit with limited utensils and a few ingredients. 
The stove is gas and the oven only have one setting, warm, no temperature given. One just have to wait for the cooked smell to permeate the room,  that is how one know it is done.
They are very bright,  will do for extra protection.  Have been sewing these by hand. The first one has been gifted already and is in use. Three still to finish. Amazing what we can do without a sewing machine,  just a pair of scissors,  thread and a needle.
The ties are prepped, ready for slip stitching. The aprons still needs the edges to be turned over one more time.
An idea of where the ties will go.
Seating outside, under the African sun. Keep safe,  pray for everyone in the world we live in!
