Tailored Apron
Today I have another original apron design to show you. This is one of the three I designed for my mom last Christmas (the first one was the Embellished Apron). It also happens to be her favorite. I chose a royal blue cherry blossom home décor print from fabric.com. I like to use home décor weight fabrics for aprons, because they protect better than a lightweight cotton. The aprons I make are meant to be practically functional, as well as pretty.
My pattern design was inspired by sophisticated jackets. I wanted to it be tailored looking, like something you could feel you could speak to hundreds of people in, but actually resume working wonders in the kitchen.
I used contrasting black piping on the bodice which adds structure and class.
I found the 6 brass buttons at a thrift store. (I love rummaging thrift stores for eye-catching buttons. They’re great to have on hand for when inspiration hits).
I also used contrasting black and white striped fabric I had on hand for the for the ties. I also lined the bodice part in the stripes, although I forgot to photograph it.
I’m pretty sure my mom could film a cooking show in this apron. It turned out rather stunning.
If you liked this apron, check out some of the other aprons I’ve designed and made below:
Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!
Blessings,
