On just a couple acres has a great tutorial for making a gathering apron. I love aprons. To me they just say Mother. I like this one especially well because she has made the apron so that you can wear it when you go to harvest ripe produce from the garden. It ties up and you have two deep pockets to hold all the fresh veggies.
