I made this apron from a old linen table cloth and place mat. I didn't have a plan in my head as to how I wanted it to turn out, it just sort of evolved in the making like most of my projects.!
First I folded the cloth into four to make a triangle and cut the pointed end off.
This gave me a nice curved edge to fit neatly around the waist, as well as providing a large piece to make the waistbands with...
I then cut along the sides of the triangle to end up with four pieces. The pocket was made from the place mat which I cut in half and embellished with small red floral appliques.
Finally I finished the hem off with some broderie anglaise frill trimming I had lying around in my scraps basket...
The second apron is very similar to this one except for the finishing touches. It's waiting patiently in my cupboard for inspiration to strike!
Thank you for visiting, and I have lots of pretty feminine patterns here for you to try:
