Honey Apron

Here is the latest in my apron designs.  I'm calling this one the honey apron, cos it's yellow, and some of the fabric actually has bees on it (and isn't the girl in this picture a little honey herself?!).

This was part of the Eco-friendly aprons I made for Christmas, but my daughter, being the diva that she is, saw one of the aprons I downloaded from the Internet and liked that one.  Of course, I didn't have pieces of yellow large enough for the ruffles so I had to buy some.

The apron I based my design on is to the left and mine, complete with pearls on the pocket, is on the right.  The bottom portion of the Honey apron is recycled fabric.

Aprons

I made aprons for Christmas this year.  I had lot of fun making them and they took waaaayyyy more time than I thought they would.  Only because I was dedicated to using fabric that I have had laying around for years and years, so it was somewhat of a scrapfest. Plus, I kind of played around with creating my own pattern, but I altered it here and there as the fabric dictated.  


Mostly I made kitchen aprons, but I made three berry picking aprons (2 shown) which I really love.  They are reversible! 

I got the instructions from here and the original pattern was from a 1944 USDA Farmers Bulletin. Perfect, because that is the year my mother was born.

Here are the others: (note: most of them have rings on the waist band to hold a kitchen towel)

This apron (right) has a belly button!
