    Just gorgeous.
    I was reading your blog. Is there a pattern please to share for the crochet heart you put on a fabric heart - made in car waiting for children?

    Thanks - that is a US pattern/site so we name our crochet stitches differently - I think. No expert here!

    The principle would still work with the larger n smaller stitches :)

    I learnt the US way when I first started doing tutorials on YouTube.

    I was watching an American guy so he taught me his way.

    It wasn't until weeks later I realised the UK terms were different :)

    I will crochet a heart and see what size it turns out - then cut out the fabric bits.
    Off to make myself a new apron first. Just found some cheerful fabric in my stash - should make me a - happy - apron.

    Did you explain to him that it wasn't actually going to be full of drink?

    It does look great!
