Christmas Box Beginnings

I've finally finished the first of the handmade Christmas gifts.  The pattern is one I purchased two years ago for 99 cents and it has for different apron patterns included.  My daughter in law is really petite so I decided on a tie around the waist style for her.  She's asked for cast iron cookware, but I want to add something homemade in, too.  The fabric came from my stash and so did the thread.  The small piece of interfacing in the waist band was a leftover strip from another project.
