The Great Apron Search

A friend of mine loves aprons--she wears one almost every day and loves to change them out with new and different patterns.  Her birthday is coming up, and because I love to give gifts from the heart, I went searching for just the right apron to make.  Here are a few I stumbled across, complete with tutorials:

Pin It Jona's Holiday Apron-in-an-Hour at Stop Staring and Start Sewing includes a down-loadable pdf.

Pin It I  couldn't find the original designer of this beautiful apron, but here is a link to the instructions at Spotlight.com.au.Rows and rows of ruffles.

Pin It Vintage pillowcase apron by Laura at Decor to Adore includes a video tutorial.

Pin It Mini retro apron by Jill at Homemade by Jill

Pin It Mini retro with a ruffle by Stephanie from The Petite Sewist. Her tutorial was featured by Jenny over at Days of Chalk and Chocolate.

Pin It Mandy over at Sugar Bee Crafts created this apron as a gift for her mom--super cute with ruffle and embellished pocket!

Pin It Mommy Knows created this apron based on directions from sew simple magazine.   She claims to sew like a drunk driver, but I absolutely adore it!

I still haven't decided which one I'll ultimately make myself.  What do you think?  Have you created an apron that would make a great gift for an apron lover?  Let me know!

Until next time, 

have a great day, and 

Go Get Crafty, Sister!
