Today was a two-apron day! This is partly because the designs are not as elaborate (no pockets), and partly because I’m getting faster at making them. Now I officially have enough aprons for all of the guests, so I only have two more to make so the last person will be able to select from three aprons.
Coming up with a design for this first apron was tricky because I didn’t have much of either print. The facing for the scalloped hem is a different fabric, and the sash is shorter than I would have liked. This is a great project to use my large, funky floral prints, which I don’t often use in quilting. That daisy fabric on navy is so great — there are strawberries in the middle of those daisies!
Vintage cheater quilt fabric is one of my favorite things. I love the funny designs in these old prints, and this is one I’ve never seen before. This was also an easy apron — I only added a little black bias tape on the ruffle and a left-over piece of ribbon to make the bows.
I don’t feel like I’m running out of inspiration for apron making, but it will be nice to move on to some other projects.
Ooo… very cool! Love the one with the flounce and bows!
Your guests are going to have a hard time choosing! I love the ribbon bows on the cheater fabric. The first one reminds me of a gored skirt!
I just don’t know how you’re coming up with all these fabulous ideas! They’re equally wonderful but so different. LOVE these – those bows are a brilliant touch!
Twp more great aprons…love those fabrics.
Green and navy blue and big beautiful flowers look so good together! I love this apron. And the black & white striped bows are adorable and make the apron all the more fun and fabulous. What you did with the cheater print is so cute!
I just have to say… I absolutely ADORE your aprons! They are all so unique and lovely! I’d never be able to choose! 🙂
Just got back from vacation…so I’ve not been on your blog for a while. Love these two new aprons! That scalloped hem looks like it’s more work than you are describing.
I can’t believe how beautiful these are. Breathtaking.
Gorgeous! Great work 🙂
I love the big bow on one and the scalloped edge on the other!
