Well, I couldn't resist after reading Jen's delightful post on Aprons this morning, I thought I'd show you my current favorite. I actually made this a few years ago from this McCall's Easy Stitch-n-Save #M4968. What can I say, I liked the ruffles :) I have worn it off and on, but not lately, so now is a perfect time to don it again with a new sense of joy and purpose while I bustle around in my kitchen or in and out of bedrooms tidying up. It's kind of a Mary Poppins sort of thing without the British accent ;-)
My littlest sweetie greeted me with a happy smile and said cheerfully, "Mommy, I like your new dress, it's so pretty!" Well if that isn't a fine way to start a day, I don't know what is ;-)
Hoping to whip up a few more 1/2 aprons over the next few days. I really liked some of the sites that I discovered from this link for apron patterns that Jen posted. Thanks for the fabulous Friday inspiration Jen!
Many blessings in your day and happy weekend :)
Oh, you're so welcome, Meredith....I'm smiling so just looking at your pretty ruffled apron. :)
What a delightful thing to have thought about on a Friday before the Saturday cleaning begins...

I love it, Meredith! I have the same pattern :) Now I just have to get the sewing machine out and attempt to make it.

What a jolly apron! It's so cheerful it would brighten up any task you had to face, and probably set you dancing as well. Lovely!

Meridedith,
I love your apron, especially the pattern. I wear a similar apron,although mine is plain(white). I work as a maid and it is my uniform. The yoke on my aprons are round and a little higher but basically the same, straps cross behind and tie in the back. I wish I could wear a print apron but it would not "do" as a maids apron.
Kim.

Merideth,
I started this same apron ages ago but never finished it. Yours looks wonderful! Thanks for inspiring me to get back to it :)
