Fabric for Four Corners Apron

The Dreaming of Quilts blog talks about choosing some fabrics, including Halloween fabrics, to use with the Vanilla House Designs’ Four Corners Apron pattern.

We found some cute fabric to make the Four Corners Apron by Vanilla House designs. I can’t wait and I better get on making mine because it’s Halloween fabric! Guess which fabric is going to be the outer edge and which is going to be the inside.

Apron Attitudes

A blogger and mother of two boys wrote in her blog about trying out four different reversable apron patterns. She shares many photos and insights, as well as links to some of the free patterns.

Here is an excerpt:

Last week for some reason ended up being pretty much dedicated to trying apron patterns. I was inspired by some beautiful like mother like daughter fabric that I found! Since I myself do not have a daughter, I instantly thought of matching aprons for Jillian and Lilly

Pattern Review ~ Emmeline Apron

The Sew, Mama, Sew! Blog has a review of the Emmeline Apron pattern by Sew Liberated.  This is a well written review which includes modification tips, several photos, and over 40 user comments.  Here is an excerpt from the review:

Emmeline is a sweet reversible apron with a gathered bodice. Meg says: “The Emmeline Apron is the one you’ve been waiting for – modern, stylish, and fun to sew. You’ll never want to take it off!” And she’s so right! I made Emmeline as a gift, and it will be hard to part with. Fortunately, the sewing truly was fun and I can’t wait to make one for myself.

Summer strawberry apron

Louise, in her blog Sing Your Heart, writes a post about creating a strawberry themed apron based on the Sew Easy Reversible Apron patternfrom Indygo Junction.  Here is an excerpt about her experience:

That wool felt strawberry pocket was a last-minute addition that I think really made the whole thing. I used the star embroidery on my sewing machine to make the little black seeds on the fruit.

Secrets Unleashed

MJ’s Sputterings wrote a nice blog post about sewing Great American Aprons and Four Corners Apron, both patterns from Vanilla House Designs.  She has nice pictures of the aprons she made, and she tells about how easy they were to make. Here is an excerpt from her blog post:

As I had lamented in an earlier post about getting a vintage apron that was too short and small for me and considering aprons are all the rage currently, I decided to make her an apron. Gulp! I haven’t sewn an article of clothing since Grade 9!
