This is what I came up with:
It's just pinned up on my design board here, so it looks wide. In real use, it would wrap around the sides a bit, but I wanted to show the pockets. The skirt is not gathered and I didn't use a pattern. I had these three great coordinating fabrics and just decided that if Erin didn't like it, I'd make her a different one and I'd keep this one. But she LOVED it!
Above is the pocket detail. These were Home Dec fabrics I used; the cottons are excellent in quality and a bit heavier, making them perfect for aprons. We have a Home Fabrics store nearby, and they sell these cottons for $2.50 per yard. Needless to say, I stocked up!
How could she not love it! It is adorable - love the colours :-)
ReplyDeleteLove this design, too cute pockets! I am gathering fabric to make a few aprons myself. Will post when I am done.

Oh, this is so cute. You have such a great eye for color and pattern combinations. When I grow up, I want to be just like you!!
ReplyDeleteIt is such a wet and gloomy day. I think I will power through my housecleaning and go stitch for a while!
I think of you often and the fun day we spent together at your house. What a wonderful hostess you are!
