During Dad and Mom’s recent visit, we three “girls” went to the grand opening for the new owner of the local quilt store. One of my purchases was red, white, and blue fabric for a new apron. Once home, it took me a few days to decide that I didn’t have the right pattern in my sewing room; I browsed patterns online briefly, but decided I could draft my own pattern for the idea in my mind. Except for the skirt, all the pieces were rotary cut with a ruler.

I love the way this apron feels on me! In fact, I like it enough I’m actually considering making a few modifications with an eye towards making it available as an e-pattern. For one thing, I forgot to put pockets on this apron. I also think I will try a wider waistband in front. And while I like front tying aprons (keeps me from dipping the ties in the loo), I think back tying might look better in larger sizes. What do you think?

Have a safe and happy 4th of July!

    Love it! Back tying would have same issue in larger sizes, but if you could shift that tie off to the side some it would look awesome, imo!
