Money Tree!

C and I made a money tree for our friends' wedding.  C folded a bunch of fives into leaves and I wired them to a dowel rod with plastic blooms.  Behold!

Apron

Here's an apron C and I made together for a friend's bridal shower.
The silver/grey diamonds are pockets we made from ironing board cover material.  Trimmed with lace an plastic pearl beads.

It was from a vintage style Butterick pattern.  B5435, view C.
