Remember this?
And this?
Well, I’m sorry it’s taken so long, but here – at last – is the full apron:
I love this pattern! And I love those spring colours!
Being a bit of a worrier (understatement!), I was concerned about getting any horrible stains on this apron since, you could reasonably argue, getting dirty is the purpose of an apron. Sooo, I sprayed it with that stuff you get to protect suede shoes and it seems to be working well so far.
Things I learned:
- Shoe protector spray works fine on cotton and may well be a good idea for protecting aprons and the like.
- I like the look of bias binding, but not the application! I never want to see the stuff again (or at least not for the next couple of months!).
I hope you like it – there was a lot of love for this pattern in the comments, so I hope I’ve done it justice! And, if you love the Petal Apron pattern, I am very pleased to announce that I have plans to make up one or two for a GIVEAWAY! Yep, giveaway goodness for you, my lovely readers! Just give me a little while to make them and I will come back to you with more details – stay tuned for this and those other plans for the blog.
Love it! The fabric is just perfect–I can see you whipping up kitchen masterpieces in that apron!
Thanks, Rowenna! And yes: YUM!!! What a good excuse to make some cakes!
ADORABLE.
Thanks
[...] I’m really looking forward to being able to get some renewed direction here at Jane of All Trades and seeing all your stitchy-types over at Magpie Makes for more sewing, my attempts at learning to knit (be prepared for laughs at how that goes!) and that apron giveaway I mentioned the other day.

This is adorable! Can’t wait for your giveaway.
