The Apron Lady Designs

Jan Lutz is “The Apron Lady” who currently publishes eight different flirty apron patterns. She writes:

A fashionable; flattering fit that is easy to create, is my foremost concern with each pattern I design. We are so fortunate to have so many great fabric choices in the market today. As seamstresses there is no reason not to bring some of that creative fun into our homes!

Her apron patterns, which sell for about $10 retail, include, “Flirty Skirty,” “Spring Fling,” and “Polka Dot Pantry.”

You can view the front covers of the apron patterns at The Apron Lady’s website.

Review of Kitchen Kouture

The Sew Mama Sew blog has a review of the Kitchen Kouture pattern from Indygo Junction. The reviewer, Modern June, gives the pattern 4 and 5 starts (in different areas of review). Here is an excerpt:

This is a great pattern for all sewers. Beginners might have a bit of trouble with attaching the waistband, though. I had to read that one over several time and I do waistbands all the time. Funny thing is that I almost do mine the exact same way. With the exception of attaching them both right sides together. I think it makes it look cleaner on the front.

Also included in this review are photos, fabric suggestions, and other modifications that might inspire you in your own apron making.

You can shop for this pattern through Google Product Search.

Aprons for the New Year

Blogger user Dawning Dreams wrote a post in her blog, Knitting in the Yarn Barn, about her January crafting projects, in which she posted a few photos of aprons that she has made. Here is an excerpt of what she has written:

It’s been a wonderful month. Being a stay-at-home-mommy sure does have it’s perks. I’ve been spinning yarn, knitting afghan squares for friends, sewing aprons, and I even started my first knitted shawl!

But you really should take a look at the post to see her photos!

Meredith’s Pockety Apron

The Modobject at Home blog has posted pictures of an apron with six pockets that will be given to a 3 year old little girl.  She relates some of her experience in creating the apron:

This was my first time working with bias tape… tedious best describes the experience. I have no idea if I applied it correctly. Surely there are some tricks out there {of which I am very unaware} that make this stuff a bit more user friendly.
