My New Apron

I love aprons.

They remind me of my mom.

She always seems to have an apron on.

And I wanted a cute apron.

I found so many cute ones online to make,

I may have to make some more.

Here is the apron I really loved.

It is a combination of this one I saw on Flirty Aprons

and this tutorial.

I am so happy with how it turned out.

I LOVE IT!

I love the fabric I used - I love the 2 prints together.

My favorite part:

It's reversible!

Score!

2 aprons in one.

I followed the tutorial above to make it, with a few exceptions.

Here are the changes I made:
Rounded the bottom of the apron
(to make it more like the Flirty Apron style)

Added pleats around the pocket

(cut 2" strips and pleats are measured every 1 inch)

Changed the bottom pleats

(cut at 5.5" and not the tutorials 6") 

(pleat strips are measured every 3" with a 1" pleat instead of 2" for both)

The apron tie goes around the front of the apron so I can tie in back

Sewed a strip on to the backside so either way has a waist tie.

Added simple pockets to the backside

What I'd do differently next time:

I don't like how thick the seams are when sewing the strips together for the pleats and the waistband. I would use the technique used when making your own quilt binding.

Here is a tutorial on what I'm trying to describe.
