Gardener's Apron



















The pocket made with border print fabric displaying garden scenes, makes this a gardener's apron. My sister, who has a huge garden, gave me the border fabric, so this apron reminds me of her!

Pretty Lost Apron




I couldn't believe it when I found this apron on the ground as I walked to my son's baseball game! I brought it home, washed and ironed it. I will return it to the school's Lost and Found. I'm sure someone is missing it. Isn't this a pretty apron?

Halloween Reversible Apron



Another novelty apron for Halloween. We made over 20 Halloween themed aprons for a local non-profit group who hosts a "haunted house" each year. This reversible Halloween apron is pretty, and not too scary.

This pair of aprons were made from 2 shirts as wedding gifts. The groom's apron is simple, plaid and over sized . The bride's apron is light beige, with the plaid cuff pocket (from the groom's shirt) and a lace flower pin. I hope they make a nice pair!

After visiting our friend's beautiful Italian Villa and vineyard, I made this apron using grape and wine bottle print fabric. It's a large, reversible apron, which Jan decided would be for her and Dave.

Shirt Sleeve Half Apron

My first attempt to use just the shirt sleeves to make a half apron looks like a skirt. I lined the apron with a white silky fabric. It's a flowing and fun to wear lightweight apron. Now I know what to do with the shirt sleeves left over from my shirt aprons.

Paisley Apron





This bright orange paisley apron makes a statement. The bright paisley print and colors caught my eye and the reversible print perfectly contrasts the front. This apron has a pleat in the front and a curved hemline.

Eyelet Lace ruffle hem







This shirt apron was embellished with an eyelet lace ruffle at the hem. I've only done this with a few shirt aprons, but it adds a nice feminine touch. I would add eyelet lace to every apron, but that's just me!

Pink Dot Half Apron

Half apron patterns typically have a gathered waist, but this one is flat, yet looks full. I'm sure I will make more with this pattern.

Another Valentine Boutique apron.

Big Plaid Apron

Truly not pretty or elegant, this large, comfortable apron is guaranteed to do the job! The front features the "Eddie Bauer" label -since this is created from the shirt's back and it's inside out. I liked the pleat detail. Looking at this apron, I realized I forgot to add a pocket!
