The Olah Momma! blog has a quick demonstration on how to make an apron for a little girl. Including pockets, ruffles, and a belt. She begins:

I got beautiful pieces of fabric remnant and was in the mood of making an apron for our toddler. It turned out to be beautiful. Grama said it’s lovely!

Lots of photos in this blog post.

Pat of Bell Creek Quilts blogs about fulfilling a quilting club summer challenge by finding an antique apron and sewing a new one. Pat found an antique one at a local antique mall, and then she made a Four Corners Apron from Vanilla House Designs. This is what she writes about the apron:

Here is the apron I made using red and green chili print. I used black yo-yo’s as the embellishments as I didn’t have any black buttons in my stash. I figure that I can use this apron as a Christmas gift!

Check out the blog post to see photos and a full story of her summer challenge experience.

Fun to wear new apron

Anna, in her Thimbleanna blog, writes about a new apron she recently created:

I made the band that sits on top of the bust just a bit narrower and moved the pockets just a bit closer to the center. It’s open in the back and that “bust band” ties in a big bow in the back. It probably looks a little funny, but that’s okay, it’s soooo comfortable.

Her blog posts several high quality photos, and it is an enjoyable read.

The pattern is called Lilly Apron by Busy Bee Quilt Designs and sells for $8.95.
