{tutorial} Sweet Ruffle Apron

Over on Sew, Mama, Sew, I saw this guest post from Christen (of Love Elaine) featuring her sweet half-apron with ruffled edge. Her tutorial is well-written and easy to understand. If you are looking for a quick gift or a new take on a familiar design, check it out. She even teaches you how to make the lovely flower embellishment (which you could use on all sorts of other projects!).
