During the
Arthur Toye closing down sale I picked up some patterns I would normally never buy -including
an apron pattern from Kwik Sew. I know some sewers aren't crazy about Kwik Sew patterns, but I found this pattern really easy to use. Lots of diagrams and the instructions were really clear.
I bought this pattern with a few different people in mind, but one of them was my friend Jess who sent me an amazing Christmas package just because she knows how much I love receiving mail - so thoughtful right.
Jess likes baking and her favourite colour is purple - so OBVIOUSLY I had to make her a cute little purple apron. Fortunately I had quite a few purple scraps in my stash to make up this pattern with - I love the purple with green poka dot fabric and I've been holding onto it for a while, waiting for the perfect project as I only had a small amount.
It's times like this (and many many other times) that I wish I had room for a sewing form, so I could show you guys the apron a little bit better. I just have to say I am so happy with the way it turned out, when I sat down to start this project I was CERTAIN I had some purple thread, but it turned out I had used it all. I decided to use some contrasting white thread instead and I'm really happy with the way it turned out.
I just wanted to show a close up of the pocket as I was worried I'd mess it all up - turns out I can sew on a pocket pretty well. You can also see that great poka dot fabric better in this photo, I love it so much!
Now its March, I can let you all know what I'll be making this month for the
Miss Bossy Challenge - the pattern I will be making is The Ashland Dress (19 votes) although Washi and Emery weren't too far behind (they got 13 votes each!)
Hope you guys have all been having a good weekend!

It looks great. I love the polka dots. I have a really similar purple vintage one that has ruffles around it.
I would have to wear that apron out I'm afraid. It's just too, too gorgeous to wear only on baking days. That spotty fabric is insane and I LOVE the ruffles and pocket! xx
I would use this one too :3 So cute!
That's gorgeous, I love the colour combo! I've never made an apron, the frill looks a bit too scary for me to attempt! x
The cutest pinny ever! Love the frill and the gathered pocket. xxx
