What is Chuck Norris' favorite cut of meat?


A very sweet friend of mine
 asked me to make an apron for her hubby.
I asked her if she had a color or theme in mind.

She said 
"is Chuck Norris a theme?"

Totally!!!!

I immediately started searching the internet
 for Chuck Norris fabric.
 Sadly......I found none.
Then I searched ebay for Chuck Norris t-shirts
and found this one that was food related.
I thought it was perfect, but it was used
and had a stain VERY close to the "roundhouse".
I had her look at it.
She loved it, bought it and sent it to me.
Here is what I came up with.
I used Wonder Under to make an applique
out of the t-shirt graphic.
I used brown twill tape to make a frame around
the graphic that allowed me to get 
close to the lettering, covering the stain.
I used heavy brown cotton canvas for the apron.


I added a large pocket that is divided into 3.
She asked for a "belt loop" to thread a dish towel through
like they do on Top Chef :)


I'm happy with the way it came out.
I hope she'll be happy too.
Who wouldn't love a little bit of Chuck Norris for Christmas?
I mean.....seriously?
