Sit-A-Pon
 a gift for the gardening
mom
The Sit-A-Pon is created by using very simple household
materials; old plastic tablecloth, magazines, and yarn. I first made a
Sit-A-Pon when I was a Girl Scout. I still remember that pink and
white soft square that protected my knees while gardening as a small girl.
The Sit-A-Pon can be personalized just for your mom. You can use
water proof magic markers to write her name and her favorite colored yarn
to sew the edging.
Great
for Mom's too!
