Wide waist band

Ties are extremely long, for ladies who may wish to tie a bow in front,

Side pocket fitted ( if you are left handed I can make a apron with a pocket to the left )

Made from 50 / 50 Poly / Cotton

My daughter wore hers to a 40s dress up party, she went as a Pregnant house wife, the apron is longer but as my daughter has a bump in the front she is wearing it high up, her waist has disappeared, she looks lovely
I recommend not using the apron if you are cooking with fat or oil, but other wise have fun, its there to keep you clean while serving your food out,
Wash and Iron after to keep it looking great

will be making more so please visit me often, and have a look at my Peg Aprons and Rag Bag holders that hang

This year's event runs from March 20 - 30th with the theme being 'The Great Plant Swap' as an easy way for neighbourhoods to grow stronger together.

Here's some ideas for ways you could get involved:

• swap seeds with a neighbour
• gift a plant you've grown to a neighbour
• take some flowers to a neighbour
• organise a produce swap
• share garden tips or recipes for food in season
• create community gardens or berm pollinator pathways
• host an inclusive garden-themed working bee
• a friendly neighbourhood BBQ with homegrown ingredients

The options are endless! At the end of the day, our shared aim is to help bring people together by encouraging intentional connection with our neighbours. Whether that be organising a street party, sharing a cuppa, or simply saying ‘Kia Ora!” to those who live around you, every action helps to create a safer and more connected New Zealand.
