Cape is to Batman, what apron is to Housewife?
My cheery Cleaning Apron. A statement of beautiful femininity. I have worn it just about everyday since I made it. I've cut the lawn, cleaned the house, conversed with the neighbors and sewn a few projects in it. It's like a superhero's leotard, it makes me feel powerful or at at least cute while I clean. (For those who've asked I tried to pattern this after a picture I saw online of the Emmeline Apron. It was fairly easy to make, straight skirt, gathered top, Wa-La!)

I love it and want to know how you made it!
I just made it up as I went. A straight rectangle for the skirt, and a gathered rectangle for the bosom and then just made a few pockets and lined it all and added a tie.
a "superhero's leotard". so true. plus, it hold in my gut. and i love that fabric. where did you get your hands on it? or did you seriously cut up some old curtains? i want it.
thanks*m
I love it!! Cute style, cute fabric... it looks fantastic on you. Holy talented woman!
I LOVE your apron, you are really talented! I am just barely getting into sewing and can't wait to tackle an apron. It's so fun to be pretty while cleaning! (All you are missing now is the pearl necklace!)
I love the pattern on your apron! Feel free to make me a blanket and pillows with the material! jk :)
