A is for apron!!



I finally broke down and got this book I have been wanting it for a while but I decided not to get it when I found out that it cost 8 dollars to enlarge each of the patterns. Yet I kept hearing talk about the book. They never had it anyany of my book stores so I asked my local Walden's to order it for me. When I saw the book I feel in love with it!! It is so fun and has great tips and fun fun patterns...So if you want a good apron book this is the one I would get.



An apron from Spain. I got this from a The cowboy apron swap that I was in over the summer. I was wondering if I was ever going to get it. but at last it arrived in the mail on Saturday. I think it is super cute!!



I will leave you with this no frills apron I made for a Gal in MT. She is a No Frills kinda gal that loves earth tone.. So I decided to go with this plane # I made it from Oilcloth so that it would be durable for when she gardens and dose her heavy duty cooking. I hope she likes it!!

my sister loves that book. Glad you finally got it!! The aprons are always cute that you make, no matter if you use a pattern or not.

great aprons! BTW, you will LOVE THAT BOOK! Check out the Loreli. I've used it a few times and it never lets me down........sooooo cute! I had to cut it down a bit to fit me better but it is really precious on.

We ought to do an apron-along and go thru the book making each apron together! That way, I can't avoid aprons that look to hard for me :-0

I have that book and there are sone fabulous patterns in there. I have been disappointed in the directions, though; there are missing steps, added steps, and just general confusion on several patterns (pretty much all the ones I have tried). It's not a problem if you're an experienced seamstress, but for a beginning it would be ROUGH.

I got my husband to enlarge the patterns for me in AutoCAD, and then I just taped all the pages together to make a complete pattern. :-P Not the prettiest method, but it worked and it was free. :-P
