Nature's Palette by Marjolein Bastin for FreeSpirit: Button Top Apron. When we moved to the country a few years ago, one of the first differences we noticed were the birds.
In the city, there wasn't much in the way of bird diversity. You have pigeons, starlings and crows - not much else. But out here, we're surrounded by a variety of feathered friends singing, swooping and scattering as we drive down the narrow country lanes. The first project in our Nature's Palette series, a sweet apron with accent buttons and a wraparound pocket, uses one of the most beautiful prints in Marjolein's collection: Gathered in Blue is criss-crossed by birds and flowers and set against the beautiful clarity of a summer sky. When working with dynamic motifs, such as Gathered, it's a nice idea too add a solid color as a way to give your eyes a rest.
As with store-bought aprons, our design is meant to be one-size-fits-all. Our thanks to all our friends at FreeSpirit for selecting us to create the debut project collection for their new Marjolein Bastin collection. Bib Set aside. Featuring Everyday Party. Today, we are ecstatic to welcome back Heidi of The Fabric Mutt.
She is sharing an adorable Everyday Party Apron tutorial with us, to celebrate the upcoming collection by Emily Isabella. Everyday can be a celebration, and you'll need the right tools to prep the celebration cake of course. An apron is just the key, and this one is adorable to boot. Heidi will take the reins from here.

Here's another apron tutorial for those of you looking for something SUPER simple.
There's nothing fancy here, just strait cuts and straight lines. I didn't add a pocket because I wanted to keep this as basic as possible. (plus, I like it better without a pocket.) If you like this fabric, I got it at Reprodepot. The red floral is "Lotus" by Amy Butler and I have no idea what the vintage kitchen fabric is called and I can't find it on the site. These are all of the pieces you'll need: A top and bottom piece24" wide by 23" long (or create your own size depending on what you like) One waistband - 9" x 24" (or 4 1/2" folded) 40+ Free Apron Patterns & Tutorials.

Retro Fun: Vintage Style Apron. This apron is another Sew4Home design original, complete with a free downloadable pattern.
Love, love, love the sweetheart neckline and matching mini-sweet pockets. And the happy bottom flounce will have you skipping around your kitchen, just like when you used to twirl in your big-girl-fancy-party-dress... oh, don't even try to tell me you didn't do that! The Simply Sweet floral fabric has the perfect vintage feel, while the big polka dot accents add a modern zing. Clever knotted ties allow infinite adjustability for the neck and waist so you can make a Retro Fun: Vintage Style Apron for every shape and size of family member and friend. This project is a bit more advanced than many we offer here at Sew4Home, mainly because the whole darn thing is edged with mitered bias tape binding.
