My crafty friend Holly let me borrow her copy of
this pattern from Sew Liberated. One day I was visiting Holly and she made us lunch. She wore an adorable apron the whole time- it looked like a dress. She said it makes her feel prettier when she is going about her domestic duties, and I must agree! She was gracious enough to lend me the pattern for awhile, and here's how mine turned out.
I love the pattern because it is reversible! Two aprons in one.
Of course, I got my fabric from Strawberry Patches. My favorite is the purple with green ties. Holly modified the pattern a bit so that the waistband is double the width that the original pattern calls for. We both feel as though this is a touch more flattering. I neglected to put lightweight interface in the pink apron, so the waistband is a little flimsier, but I remembered to put it in the purple one. The structure of the apron is a bit more sound.

Thanks for the feedback, girls! I would love to make them for everyone, but they are pretty expensive to make and take awhile. Good luck sewing them, though!
