New Aprons and Pattern Review

I have been busy sewing aprons for 2 bridal showers and apron swap. I used Mary Mulari's Church Lady Apron Pattern. Let me tell you, I have Mary's Favorite Reversible Apron pattern and it is a great starter apron pattern. It is simple to follow and produces a quality apron every time. So, I was eager to try this pattern out. Here are some of my thoughts about this apron pattern.

Positive Thoughts

• The pattern cost me $6.00, which is reasonable.


• It is reversible. It is like 2 aprons in one!


• The pattern has lots of suggestions for personalization and how to make each apron a bit unique.


• I like that it has a spot to write down who you have made the apron for and the date.


• It comes with nice sturdy pattern paper.


• The waist ties are wide and easy to turn.


• easy to shop for, you just need a yard of 2 complimentary fabrics


• It is an overall easy pattern to follow, and the directions are quite clear.

Buyer Beware

If you want 2 double pockets on each side of your apron, then you should buy extra material.

I did have troubles getting the tops of my pockets to point when I folder them under. The directions didn't really address this small little point. (The pockets did turn out cute though; I am sorry you cannot see them better in this picture.)

Overall, I'd recommend this apron pattern. I would definitely buy more of Mary Mulari's patterns.

Editor's note: I will post my Halloween Apron Swap apron after I am sure that my partner has received it.
