I sewed this up this morning.  My favorite apron stopped fitting a few months ago and my other apron is starting to feel uncomfortable.  I made this one with a high waist to go over my bump.



Here I am looking like a big pregnant mountain.



Skirt is 3/4 yard of a stripey Alexander Henry print, pieced into 3 gores; bodice is a gathered trapazoid in green dots, a fat quarter from Jo-Ann; pink trim and ties are cotton twill tape from Treadle.



Yay!  Apron!

Ooh pretty! You know, I need an apron and it would be fun to sew a fun one like this. Are there any patterns you recommend, or do you just design your own?

Thanks!

I just make up my own patterns, but I get ideas from various sources.

Tie One On is a super fun apron website: http://angrychicken.typepad.com/tieoneon/ Check out their Flickr galleries.

I also read a good book about aprons from the library a while ago; they have a few with patterns.

Your apron is adorable, and so are you ! You don't look like a mountain at all, but like a beautiful expecting mother.

Thank you! You're sweet to say so. I just feel so huge and awkward!
