I don&#8217;t remember why I adjusted it originally. I think the fabric looks really nice in apron form.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I used some of my precious Philip Jacobs fabric, but why not? It isn&#8217;t like there is a shortage at my house.<\/p>\n<p>This is the pattern you can use with a yard of fabric. The pattern is called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.decadesofstyle.com\/collections\/1920s-sewing-patterns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flapper Apron<\/a> from the Decades of Style pattern company. I bought it in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2018\/01\/portland-shop-hop-speckled-hen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2018 when I was out shopping with Amanda<\/a>. The clever part of this pattern is that you cut the pattern out on the bias. The biggest attraction is that you only *need* one yard of fabric to make it. I usually make the apron reversible, which takes 2 yards. As mentioned before, I like to give myself a little breathing room with 1.25 yards on each side. Still, the pattern is designed for one yard of fabric.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have made several of these over the past few years and still like the way they turn out.
