Grace, I am sorry I didn't get the picture on yet! I ended up having to take Isaiah to the emergency room fro his eye because I can't get him into the doctor until next week! It turned out that he did have pink eye!! I will try to get a pic on tonight!

Ilove the apron that is made from vintage tablecloths. I bought a tablecloth just so I could make one.

I made the Emmeline too - I loved it, but gave it as a gift so now I have to make another one. Oh darn:)

I love that Lola apron! I wouldn't make the neck straps that wide and I'd make them to tie. Neck straps are tied to fit and then you leave them tied to pull over your head after that. I also have the other pattern that Heather posted. It's a good pattern, lots of variety. I made the half apron with the scalloped edge. I always enlarge pockets for any apron I make. I like 2 big pockets on everything. I just made an apron with no pattern...just half apron by pleating by hand every few inches at the waist. The a ruffle is pleated also on the bottom. I'll try to show a pic. Sometimes I piece different fabrics to give the quilt look. Handmade bias of a different print works good on an apron too.

Heather I was looking at that pattern all night on the web - how did it sew up? Does it have clean seams? I have a serger but would like a finished inside look without having to dig out the serger. I also looked at the Lola apron - know nothing about the company - found it on etsy but not much info - do you have the pattern? If so, what do you think of it?
Grace,
I used the McCall's pattern for a swap, and LOVED it! It has a very clean finish, no serger necessary. You sew the pieces wrong sides together, then the double fold bias tape covers the seams.
I'm in love with the Lola apron, but don't have that pattern yet. I do have a couple of other patterns (Emmaline apron & Gnome messenger bag) that Meg has created (her blog is at www.sewliberated.typepad.com), and they are very nice.

I've become addicted to aprons as well. I only have two working aprons in my collection so far...but TONS of patterns. I'm trying to figure out a way to incorporate an apron 'look' into my wardrobe.

My favortie pattern is one called
Old fashioned apron"...you are covered from neck to toe(if desired), it has no waist, and does not tie around the neck,I really dont care for those that have a waist, nor tie around the neck...

Hi Terri
do you have a picture of it??? I have purchased three vintage patterns and have not cut any yet so I am still open to changes... No like I do not have a ton of fabric so I can experiment but I love options.
Thanks
