A lot of the aprons I make for my
Etsy shop have two fabric combinations. I have found that combining coordinating fabrics usually makes an apron fun and flirty. Add in a few trims like bias tape or rickrack and it's fun to sew and fun to wear! This apron sewing philosophy can be seen clearly in the picture above.
However, I occasionally like to stray from the everyday and make an apron out of a single fabric. When using only one fabric with limited embellishment the whole fabric pattern seems to flow, giving the apron a dress-like quality. I also think it emphasizes the vintage or retro look of a particular apron. The Amy Butler Martini Dot fabric above is perfect for this type of apron. The cascading martini dots emphasize the continuous flow of the pattern while effortlessly blending the bib into the skirt. All in all, I think this is the perfect
party hostess apron! An apron like this will likely have many tales to tell.
