• {pattern} Quick, Interchangeable Bistro Apron


    Released by More Splash Than Cash Decorating in 2011, their My Bistro Apron is still getting plenty of love. And for good reason.

    The apron pattern requires just a yard of fabric and has a clever waistband with hook and loop tape (such as Velcro) that allows for a quick change of the panel. The pattern comes with instructions to make a traditional bistro apron, a contrasting band version and one using a tea towel for the apron skirt.

    The pattern is available through your favorite local quilt and fabric retailer or from More Splash Than Cash Decorating. Visit her site for more quick and clever patterns.

  • My Aprons + A Giveaway!

    The inspiration for the aprons I made was taken from “The Apron Book – Making, Wearing and Sharing a Bit of Cloth and Comfort” by EllynAnne Geisel – page 73. I liked the big pocket – great as a clothespin pouch or for bringing in green beans and tomatoes from the garden. The red apron could be given as a gift for National Tie One On Day. The green apron is just fun! I enjoyed the cartoons and bits of satire such as “I got a sewing machine for my husband. Good trade huh.” and “A clean house is a sign of a broken sewing machine.”

The Fabric Shop Network is proud to be a national sponsor of National Tie One on Day™. On the day before Thanksgiving, women across the country will be celebrating the day by wrapping a loaf of bread in an apron, tucking a prayer or a note of encouragement in the pocket, and then delivering the bundle to someone in need of physical or spiritual sustenance—or both. What could be nicer than receiving such a gift—and handmade at that?
