It's party apron time!

In the 1960s, my mother (the snappiest of dressers) sewed herself a holiday party apron, in white organdy with applique red and green xmas bells and ornaments (which doubled as pockets) trimmed with metallic rick rack. I just pulled myself out of an internet rabbit hole trying to find pictures. I know I have the original somewhere! But its condition is a bit delicate. 

Anyway I decided to sew one for myself, with matching oven mitts, after being inspired by the FW 2022 Batsheva + Laura Ashley collection. It's hard to see in the pictures, but the polka dots are a soft metallic silver, and the piping is quite blingy!
