It’s Apron Day at Pink Chalk Studios

Pink Chalk Studio, the blog arm of Pink Chalk Fabrics has been doing a sew-along and not just any-ol’-sew-along. This is Week 34 in a months-long process to get readers to try out the patterns in their super cute One-Yard Wonders book.

This week is a double feature of aprons–the Mini Craft & Tool Apron and the Convertible Craft Apron. Both require only a yard of fabric each and they share some great tips on making the aprons extra functional (tape measure ribbon!) and how to use laminates. Check out their blog for more info and subscribe to keep up with their fantastic projects.

The Apron Lady Mother-Daughter Tea Party Aprons

The Apron Lady, aka Jan Lutz, never ceases to amaze with her delightful apron patterns for kids and adults. One of my favorites is her Tea Party Mother-Daughter Apron pattern, which includes patterns for both mom and child.

Isn’t this one just too cute? So cute that I think it would be perfect for Wear an Apron Day on May 10! And if you’re feeling like making something even fancier, Jan has a sample made up in silk.

Isn’t this a gorgeous interpretation of that pattern? I love the idea of using a fancy fabric in something like an apron.

Check out the rest of The Apron Lady’s designs over here.
