Think Crafts Blog – Craft Ideas and Projects – CreateForLess

By Sewing Contributor Jessica, from the blog “Life Sew Good”.  

Isn’t this the most beautiful apron you’ve ever seen?!  Don’t even tell me it’s not, because I know it is.  Okay, okay, maybe you would choose a different fabric?  Regardless of the chosen fabric, this apron is so nice it ought to be recreated  into a sundress, don’t you agree? 

Last year, I ran across the Emmeline Apron Pattern by Sew Liberated.  It’s a reversible apron with a gathered bodice and full skirt that is great for any body shape.   I often print out patterns online, which can be a pain to print out and then enlarge.  Since this is a hard copy, the pattern comes with illustrated directions and full-sized pattern pieces, which I love!  The directions are clear, so even a less experienced  seamstress will be able to make it easily.  

After I bought it, I decided to make it for my sister’s birthday.   I decided to make it again for my mom at Mother’s Day.  They turned out beautifully! 

One thing that is unique to the Emmeline is that the pattern has you make your own bias.  It turns out beautifully.

Meg, the pattern designer also has a great blog you should check out here. 

I particularly like her because her work space is the EXACT SAME COLOR as mine, which gives me confidence that I’ve picked the right color after having second thoughts.
