Altered backs

Okay so here's my Emmeline Aprons slightly altered. I took the two straps that tie at the back of your neck and crisscrossed them to button at the band below the bodice. Hence the button pics from yesterday.


Christmas apron, the reverse side is green/yellow geometric print. Fabric was purchased November? of last year, lol, from JoAnns.

A Halloween Apron, it's the same on both sides.

Veggie Apron, the reverse side is Kaufman pea-pod print.

Spring apron, the left picture is Erin McMorris fabric and the right picture is home decor fabric from Ikea. The waist tie on this apron is half width, since that's all I had left of this color solid. All solids are Kona, and everything was from my stash! Hooray for finishing things up and using fabric I already had!

A note about this pattern, it's pretty simple to follow, but since it's reversible it's a bit time consuming. It tells you to cut the bias binding on the bias for the straps, I just cut mine the width of the fabric and it didn't seem to make any difference. I also pieced the straps where my solid remnants weren't long enough, the pattern calls for 1 & 3/4 yrds of fabric for the bodice bands and straps, but I used closer to 1yrd by piecing and cutting WOF.
