I got a vintage apron for my Niece for her birthday. She loves when things have her name on them. I wanted to embroider her name across the top of her apron and then maybe embroider little cupcakes and various things on it. My question is this, her name will be quite large and while I am worried how well I could make it look if I filled in the letters I am more concerned that it would snag on something. She is only 7 and always getting into stuff. Is there a really hardy stich I could use to fill in the letters or should I stencil the name in a color and then stitch the border of the name??? I'm not sure what would look best and any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This is all after shots so I dont have any befores just imagine a big blank white apt. I hope its okay to post it here but almost all of it is done by me. LIke the kitchen floor and all the furniture was painted by me. Anyway I'm happy because it is finally done. (Well almsot).

Are there any cool crafters in the North Virginia area. We should start a get together or something. This would also apply to those living in D.C. since Arlington and such is so close.

I would organize so people let me know if your in the area.

Long time lurker, First time poster. This is an apron with a simple star stencil. I know its quite simple but I love Stars. Originally it was just plain white and found in a thrift Store. Anyway hopefully I 'll enjoy cooking more in this.
