The title is misleading, I realize. So maybe it's not the perfect birthday gift for a son-in-law, but I don't want that Indiana resident to forget Wisconsin...thus, the Holstein grilling apron and cap. :-)
The apron pattern was not easy to use. It was a kids' apron pattern that I found lying around here, so I thought I'd use it. But rather than teaching children 'wrong' side of the fabric, it called it 'the ugly side' of the fabric. What?? Ugly is rather subjective, and it wasn't the only thing that irritated me about this pattern. Why is it people think that kids can't learn things the proper way, or have to be talked down to in order for them to understand?
It's a pet peeve of mine.
Since our son-in-law had just purchased a grill, he needed an apron. I thought the heart (as in 'loving Wisconsin and everything about it' would be a nice touch. :-)
Yeah, the cap was a little over the top (no pun intended).
And that Indiana 'boy'? He (and our daughter and Henry) AND our other daughter and her husband are going to be here this week! If I don't get anything else posted all week, you'll know why. Well, we'll see what happens. I'm so looking forward to seeing them!
