Now Why Didn't I Think of That?

Today, I received these pictures from Amy on her take of the Retro Chic Apron Pattern. Now why didn't I ever think to use piping?  It just gives this apron a very classic feel.  Also, notice how Amy uses bias that she made from the yoke and collar fabric.  I've done this a few times...it wasn't my favorite thing.  As a mater of fact, I think my cuss words are still hanging in the air somewhere over Central Texas.


 
In this picture, notice how the pocket fabric is turned in a new direction.  One thing to note about the Retro Chic Apron Pattern: the fabric layout leaves you with a bit of leftover fabric.  I applaud Amy for her creativity in using this piece of fabric for a matching kitchen towel.  Best of all, Amy made this adorable apron as a gift for her Mom's birthday! 

Bravo, Amy!
UPDATE:  The Mystery Pattern is soon to be revealed.  I've been waiting for my daughter editor to finish the revisions.  She had sent the revised pattern in a bag with a tablecloth which I efficiently returned when I had finished using it.  There are always overlaps when you blend family and business!

Pretty piping! I'm on pins and needles waiting to see your Mystery pattern. Is it a men's apron? or a backpack?
