Sewing Tutorial: Embellished apron in a jar

You’ve probably seen mason jars used to package gift mixes, but you can also use mason jars to package other gift items – like this embellished apron. Andy Knowlton shares a tutorial at Therm O Web showing how to make one. They start with a plain apron purchased at a craft store, and then use fusible webbing to add fun appliques. This would make an awesome end of year gift for a favorite teacher! Go to Therm O Web for the tutorial.
