I've been using this pattern this fall and absolutely LOVE it! It's very easy, but the finished aprons really look nice. I finished this one for my cousin's birthday last weekend. I made a matching oven mitt too. Thought I'd "show it off".

Thanks girls! I purchased the pattern...it's called "Four Square Apron", but it is basically 2 squares. I found the pattern at our quilt store.

Kelly,
that is one of the only apron patterns I make- it is flatering on everyone. I've probably made about 75 of them in the past year. The gals I work with are getting one for Christmas this year.

My church has a booth at our farmers market and I made a bunch of them to sell there, I made some smaller too- to fit children... they all sold out! I'm going to start in January to make more for next year!
It's a GREAT pattern!!

Lori,
A children's size would be FUN! How much smaller did you make the squares?

Hey girls I found a similar pattern on Ebay for about $8 and there is one for Mommy & Me! I found it under "Four Apron" in the search. Just thought in case anyone wanted one, I may try and bid, looks easy and beautiful! Thanks Kelly for the idea.

Warm Wishes
Jennifer

I made it about 2-3 insches smaller than the directions called for and then I used my daughter and her friend as models to make sure is wasn't too small or big for that matter.
They are fun to make!!
