A long time ago, the Angel Family Mom mentioned an apron she used to wear at school (she’s a teacher), but lost. What she described sounded a lot like the Cafe Apron I made for my sister some time ago.
After looking up that project, I realized I bought the same pattern again. 🙁 I thought it was a different pattern and should have looked it up. Oh well. At least it wasn’t an expensive pattern.
I bought the fabric and the pattern at Moonlight Quilters. I think I was inspired by the fabric, which doesn’t scream school teacher, but is school oriented. The motifs are subtle.
The apron didn’t take me very long to make. I estimate it took about 4 hours total. This time I used all the same fabric instead of different fabrics for the pockets, etc.
I got a call from the Angel Mama and she LOVES the apron. She said that she was wearing it around the house and it was just like the apron she lost. I was thrilled that she liked it. I threatened to make her one for home, but she said she had some Starbuck’s versions she used for around the house.
I am pleased that I was able to finish this in time for the new school year.
