This isn't exactly a detailed view of the completed apron, but rather an apron in use kind of shot. I finished it this morning before noon (thanks to the "fall back" of the clocks giving me an extra hour this morning). Then, after a trip to the grocery store and some time cleaning up in the garden, I put it on to make dinner, prep some food for the rest of the week and generally get down to the rest of the weekend's household chores. As far as aprons go, this one is a winner. I like the fact that the top is pretty full coverage (handy when cooking stainy things like tomato sauce and some beets I steamed tonight) and it's long enough to wipe my hands on as I switch from cutting something to stirring something else.
I think I'll try making some matching pot holders, though I may be brave and try the slightly more complicated Amy Butler version that comes with her Cafe Apron pattern as they seem a bit sturdier than the ones in the Lotta book.
. How nutty is that?

Dinner looks yummy....can't wait to see the close-ups of your apron :-)

Hi emira, yes, i'd love to see some close-ups too! I've got some fabric all picked out for the same project. Anything you would change?
