Brian's Apron

I made this apron for Brian in March. It is blue striped seersucker, cut on bias. There is a special pocket for his meat thermometer, as well as a towel loop to his right side, which you can't see very well.



This pattern (minus pockets) is from Simple Gifts to Stitch by Jocelyn Worral.

At Last, an Apron

I can't believe how long it's been since I posted here! I did make one other apron this winter; photos are on the way. For now, a birthday gift for my friend Carolina. It's a reversible apron made from 100% cotton.



As you can see, I played with appliqué some more. I made my own bias strips for the pocket tops as well. The purple side looked a little boring, so I also made a rosette pin to perk it up.

The apron pattern is from Simple Sewing by Lotta Jansdotter.
The rosette is based on an idea from Last-Minute Fabric Gifts by Cynthia Treen.
