My Tuesday quilting group did a road trip recently and I
brought home this pattern. The apron is
reversible and made with quilter’s cotton.
The hardest part for me was making and placing the pockets. I think I tried four different methods before
I found one I liked. I ended up making a
template and turning the rounded edges using starch and an iron, similar to the
way I do prepared-edge applique. The
pockets are made with two coordinating fabric layers, and I found it helpful to
stitch the two layers together before prepping the edges. The next hardest part was attaching the
yoke. Pins didn’t work well for me and I
ended up using applique glue to hold the seam ends together while I
stitched.
Hopefully future aprons will go together quicker. I am considering making more for the Guild boutique
and as gifts.

Aprons seem to be coming back in fashion. I used to make my mother's and my grandma's aprons in the 1950s. I never got used to wearing one.
That is so cute - I might have to make an apron or two for Christmas gifts. I love aprons!
