Apron Collection

As promised, here's a peek at my apron collection.  Most were gifts or were purchased over the years, and a couple I made.  I love the half aprons especially but I the shapes of the full aprons are great and a bit more practical in the kitchen..

A few of my half aprons

My favorite apron is actually the red and white check (second from the left in the top photo).  I love that it has a dish cloth that buttons on and off, along with a little pocket.  It's so practical and is the most loved of the bunch.  Whenever I'm done using it, I can just unbutton the towel and throw it in the wash separately.  I'd love to eventually make some additional half aprons with that feature.

I have a thing for aprons... but that's another post.  In my hunt for cute apron patterns I came across the Sew Liberated Emmeline.  It's a reversible apron with a ruched top.  I love having options so having a double sided apron seemed to offer more bang for the buck.

This was another project that came together really fast.  It would be great to put together for a holiday gift.  I picked out two Amy Butler fabrics; one of which is actually the same one I used for the Frenchy bag.  I wanted to make sure that the fabrics I used had a corresponding color to tie everything together with the accent ties and top.
