Thank you so much to everyone who made comments on my aprons — I am really pleased that you like them.
My mother had an apron with a pocket border around the bottom, only hers had a sleeveless top and a very short pocket border just below the waist. I always liked that apron, but I never wore it as a child because it was much too big. My mother’s apron style was probably a lot more practical than this one, but I like mine anyway. The fabric with the floral squares made perfect individual pockets.
My favorite fabric to use in these aprons is an old glazed chintz. It’s so smooth, has a nice crisp feel, and keeps its shape. On this apron I was at first going to narrow the ruffle as it came up to the waistband in the back, but then decided to just continue the same ruffle width and attach the end of the ruffle to the waistband. Maybe I’ll try the graduated ruffle on another apron since I have lots more to make.
Oh, I wish you were selling these!! I adore the tulip/flower border apron! All your aprons are amazing!

I don’t know which I love better! I adore the border on the first, and the ruffle on the second. Beautiful!
I love the border detail and the lining on the ties in number 8, but the yellow with the flowers is so spring-y!
Something tells me you are really enjoying this – but then so are we! Love the floral fabric and the checked lining on the ties!
Some of these would look great as skirts with the ribbon at the front. They look great.

You must post a pic of all the girls wearing these! They are lucky indeed!
Love the pink and gray/black combo! What are you planning to do with the aprons? It’s a great series!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your aprons!!! It is truly a joy to see that piece of chintz turned into a super cute apron. I’ve always loved vintage aprons. Hooray!
