Sometime it isn’t about the ruffles or the appliques, but just a good ol’ sturdy apron to keep the mess off you. That’s what these chef aprons are for. But really, you can do all sorts of things to make them more interesting.

J. Caroline Creative offers up this tutorial to make one, but they also offer a variety of ribbons and trim to use with it.

What kinds of decorative treatment have you done on aprons? Rick-rack? Ribbons? Beads? Sequins? You could get a bit crazy with it, but so much fun!

Kelly from Sewing In No Mans Land shared her tutorial for making an Anthropologie-inspired, ruffle-bodice apron on iCandy. Her Bright Side Apron isn’t your typical full apron!

Her version is dressed up with ruffles that run down the front, neck- and wide waist-ties and an extra long skirt that is adjustable to make it just right for you.

Rick Rack Apron by Amy Barackman- Indygo Junction

The Rick Rack apron is a vintage-styled apron in full and half apron versions. It features two beloved edge finishes – rick rack and topstitching. A simple application technique makes the rick rack open work insertion at each seam nearly foolproof. Two sizes are included teen/petite (XS) & adult (one size fits most).  Find this pattern at your local independent quilt and fabric retailer.
