Natalie's Apron



My nephew asked me to make an apron for his friend, Natalie, for her birthday. She loves handmade things and lives in beautiful Northern Michigan, and this blue striped shirt seemed perfect. I like the homespun look and the pocket (plaid shirt cuff) adds contrast. The trim and lace adds dimension and interest. Happy Birthday Natalie!

Polka Dot Apron


This apron was designed for a hair stylist who liked black and was looking for something different. Black and white dots, with red rickrack bring back the 50's look. A curved hem gives this apron a little softness.

My favorite apron, with the silk flower pin, is just the right size and weight. The white silky fabric makes it a joy to wear! Here's an example of a very pretty, yet hardworking apron.

Tuxedo shirt combined with plaid gives this apron a mixed up look. The white crisp tuxedo pleats are contrasted with dark plaid. The large pocket and silky lining make this apron very functional.

Double plaid apron


Using 2 plaid shirts, this apron has a patchwork look. The trim and lace give it an interesting and feminine touch. I made another apron from the dark plaid, which will be featured tomorrow!

Cowboy shirt apron


Here's an apron that features pearl snaps! The plaid shirt has cowboy cut design with two covered pockets. And like how the pockets stood out and really didn't need anything else.
