I think that is great. Cheerful and happy. Don't make it into a pocket, put it high up on the top and a simple coloured pocket lower down

I consulted with my brother and sister as what I should do. We've all agreed the dresden plate is too big and too loud for the apron. After I've redone the center piece without the Dogma on it I'll make it a wall hanging or something. Maybe frame it even. We'll see.

I really like it up high on the apron the best. I'd wear it. Leave the blades pointy.  :thumb:
Hey Bill! Read the manual!  Hehehe.

@Bill I really like the apron with the blades up high. Looks lovely and cheerful and not too big at all! Many people on this forum can't abide FPP which I love......it confuses the heck out of them whereas to me its just "simples" and fun. Well, I'm one of the very rare minority (I think) that can't stand Dresden plates....don't like the look of them, don't like doing them BUT YOURS looks fabulous....brilliant in my opinion! :VV:

Looks wonderful on the apron! What about carefully removing the pocket, resewing the pocket higher and then placing the plate where the pocket was? Justmy 2 cents...

I'm leaning toward making the plate a...plate holder? And a mug rug to go with it...
That idea has just hit me.
