Laura's apron



Laura's apron


Earlier this summer I fashioned a really sweet black and white apron for my niece’s bridal shower and packed it in a reusable black and white shopping bag with lots of black and white accessories including a dish towel trimmed with fabric from the apron designed to fit over the oven door handle. 

My only regret was not making a coordinating “his” apron to go with the pretty “hers” version – she said her fiancĂ© was the one more likely to cook! 

The pattern was one of earliest ones I found while searching for patterns on the internet.  It is from a JoAnn Fabrics tutorial though I modified it with a lining, making it more functional and easier to construct as all the seams are neatly bound inside.  http://www.joann.com/josephine-apron/prod310986/  

When I showed it to my co-workers they said it was pretty enough to wear when you had a dinner party.
