I am continuing the process of remaking my aprons for my Etsy store cover pages. In doing this, I am also examining how I go about choosing the fabrics.
For this apron, I was immediately attracted to the fabric’s pattern. It’s bold, it’s graphic, and it’s modern. What’s not to love!
Since bold patterns always work with aprons, I knew that this would be a no-brainer.
However, I toyed with the idea of going with a mustard yellow instead of the red on the accents. I chose the red because it has greater appeal and I had the fabric in my stash. Again, no-brainer.
Sometimes, fabric choice comes down to what you love or what you have on hand. For this project, it was both.
I did struggle with choosing which pattern to remake in this fabric. I almost went with the Halter Chic Apron Pattern, but I have something else in mind for that one.

Darling apron--I love it!
Definitely like those colors! I am a huge fan of the choose the fabric you already have method.;)
Great apron! I just made a grilling apron for my son-in-law. I wanted him to think of us in Wisconsin, so I made it out of duck cloth that looked like a Holstein cow. lol He'll definitely remember us. :-)
LOVE that apron,and glad you used the red for accent, although the mustard would have worked too.
Wow....wonderful!Loved the colors you chose for the apron.

That's a really pretty apron! I looked at your store and I really like several of them. But just a thought for you, seeing aprons on people rather than dress forms goes a lot farther to show me how it fits :) I'm glad you linked up to Cure for the Common Monday :)
That is stunning going to pin thanks, Amee

Gorgeous. Really. I think the red pairs much better than a mustard would. I think mustard and grey work better than with b&w.
I'll be featuring you again, because I just love this!
Thanks for sharing.

Great fabric choices. The red really pops against the black and white fabric.

I love the shape of the bodice. I don't know if that is the right word because I'm definitely no seamstress. So unique with that fabric. I really love the gray and yellow one I saw in the preview section that says other posts you might like.
