White calico, full length apron with a double front pocket and matching neck strap and ties in a small aqua floral print. Blue stranded cotton (DMC 931) has been used to embroider the top centre stem stitched cup and saucer motif (3 strands) and the back stitched signatures (2 strands) that cover the exposed calico portion of the apron. French knots dot the i's. Three skeins of thread were used. The cup contains the text 'A celebration of aprons' and the saucer the date '3rd May 2019'. All attendees at the morning tea were invited to sign the apron.
