{free pattern} Run, Gingerbread Men, Run

What’s better for the Christmas holiday baking than a gingerbread man? Designed by Cathy Gaubert, this adorable apron is featured (on the cover, even!) in John Q. Adam’s book, Pretty in Patchwork:Holiday (Lark Crafts). If you want to give it a try before you buy the book, you can download the pattern for the gingerbread men embroidered apron as a pdf file. You’ll need to get this template, too, for the men and the writing. The half-apron style is made extra stylish with its nifty asymmetrical pocket, appliqued gingerbread men and embroidered writing.

Pretty in Patchwork: Holiday is available through Zinio as a download only (the book will be released next August). Adams includes more than 30 beginner to intermediate projects to celebrate the season. There are pillows, bunting, tree skirts, ornaments and includes several quilts (from full-size to lap-size to a baby quilt). It also includes a cute little gingerbread man apron.
