Hi,
I love this apron! Your tutorial was very easy to follow… thank you!! I just finished making this apron for my mom for Christmas. After I finish making a set of matching pot holders, I post the pic to your Flikr page.

Kandi,
It takes 1.5 yards of each fabric. I should probably put that in a more noticeable place because nobody sees it! There is no lining between them, although some people like to interface the waist band.

I can’t print out the pattern yet to measure, but I’m wanting to by the fabric. How much of each fabric would I need to make this apron? Also, is there a lining between the two fabrics? Thanks!

Jeannie,
Yes! I forgot to mark the fold line, but it is definitely cut on the fold. Just line up a short end on the fold. Thanks for pointing it out!

I cannot wait to make this darling apron!! Just one question: On pieces 14 and 15, after taping them together, it says to cut on the fold. There is not fold indication. I am assuming it is on either of the short ends?? I am a grandma and would have to double that waistband easily, but not sure if that was the intent.
thanks

Sounds lovely! I’d love to see a picture. If it’s made with our fabrics, you can submit to the gallery on our web page. If it’s made from tutorial and/or with our fabrics, you can submit to our flickr page. The link is all over the blog.

I just finished one of these scalloped aprons in two contrasting holiday prints. It is absolutely beautiful. I added some holiday ribbon and rick on the pockets and waistband. I am making another one tomorrow. I did make it about an inch longer because I made it for a very tall person. I just cut an inch below the scallops following along the lines estimating with my scissors and it came out great. I also used some interfacing for the waistband. It looks so festive.

Sorry, right now I just have this pattern in one size. If you want to make it smaller, you could perhaps trim off the last scallop and adjust the waist band accordingly.

I saw the question about making the apron for a tween. Where you able to find it for a smaller size?

Hi Kelly,
The apron is two-sided — i.e. a different fabric on each side so that it’s reversible. The apron skirt pattern piece is cut on the fold, so it’s a half-piece. Place the part marked “fold” on the fold of the fabric so that when you cut it out, it’s twice as wide as the pattern piece. Do that for both the front and back of the apron skirt. So you’ll have two full-sized apron skirt pieces in different fabrics. I hope that made sense. If not, please let me know.
