I'm LOVING these aprons! I can only take credit for the fabric combinations. The pattern I used was McCall's Fashion Accessories, #3979, view E. It is pictured as being made from only ONE fabric, but I mixed it up a bit by doing the pockets, bottom trim, and ties in a coordinating fabric. 1 yard of fabric was enough to cut out two aprons (the main, top, and side pieces). I played around with my coordinating fabric choices, but you'll probably want about a half yard of that. The pattern calls for covering EVERY seam in bias tape (6 yards!). Um, no thanks. I used coordinating piping instead, on the pockets and V's, and loved how finished it turned out! I just did a regular rolled seam for the rest.
Which one's your favorite? I think I'm keeping the blue and red one for me. It makes me happy!
