Ohhh, looks like I will be working on the expert level apron. Have made a lot of them but never designed one. This should be very interesting. Can't wait to see what everyone else does.

I'm in!! I've made lots of aprons, but haven't submitted any of them for badges. Yesterday I bought my lace and fabric for Valentines day aprons, so this will be a good badge to start working toward.

Hey Jonnie, out of curiosity, do you have a picture of the apron you designe for the Expert Badge? It's already kind of starting to panic me the thought of trying to "design" an apron.

First of all, don't panic :-) There is no reason to panic. Have fun!
And I should state here that my badge has not yet passed through final approval. I only just submitted it, so there is a possibility that it will not be approved.
I started with a basic pattern that I loved and redesigned some of the pieces to make it my own. I changed the shape, added the quilted pocket and put it together to fit myself - made the pieces smaller, put the straps closer together and made them shorter, etc.). I've made this pattern several times now and have finally gotten the design that I will probably continue to use. I modify the size according to the size of the final "wearer" of the apron. It would be very easy to add ruffles to this one - on the straps, around the bottom, around the the pockets, between the bodice and skirt, but I like it as it is. It has a very long tie in the back which is very cute. It's great fun to wear and I've even worn it to work on casual Fridays.
I'm also including a photo of the one that I made for a friend (cherries and gingham taken from the back).
Mine is the one with the witches and is taken from the front.
Because I'm vain and I like the way that this one turned out, I'm also including the apron that I made for the intermediate level. I did not modify the pattern for this one, but made it as it appears in the pattern book.
Hope this helps!

I am new (don't even have my package yet from MJ yet), but I wanna play.
so how does this work? Do you set a challenge each month and folks can work toward the same badge at the same time. Or can you just pick any random badge and work on that whenver you want? |

Thank you both so much for posting those! I will try to stop panicking about it. :)
I just thought of something, I bet Brian is going to love this when we all start submitting our badges at the same time. LOL!!!
