Bridal Aprons

November 7, 2011 by Jodi 13 Comments

I don’t know what I was thinking, but in my head, I had decided I could whip up three aprons in a day. Um, no, Jodi. Maybe if that was all I was doing, but I was sewing in the midst of making meals and snacks, carpool drop off, diaper changes, nursing sessions, tidying and general child care. It turned into a four-day project.

These “Emmeline” aprons were worth it though. I’m totally in love and I wish I wasn’t mailing them off to three recent brides today.


A woman’s place may not be in the kitchen, but she should feel fabulous when she is in there.

Do you have a favorite apron pattern?

      I’ve made a ton of them before. It has become a rather streamlined process.

    This is soooo timely! I’ve never made an apron but my mother-in-law is an apron junkie and has been hinting strongly she’d like me to whip her up one (or 3 or 5) for Christmas. These are darling, and that second picture of you is fantastic!

    Thanks for the inspiration!

    I love the emmeline pattern – I’ve made a ton of them! You’re crazy to try to make so many at once – for some reason that pattern takes me FOREVER to sew, even though it is quite simple!

    I love the Pretty Ditty pattern by Jamie Christina patterns. The bodice uses an elastic casing for a gathered effect, making it extremely flattering on both busty and non-busty gals. Plus, she includes instructions for making it reversible, so you can have two cute aprons in one!

      I would say this is an excellent pattern for an intermediate beginner. It isn’t a quick sew, but the directions are excellent and you will pick up some great skills along the way (gathering, cutting bias tape, hand sewing a ladder stitch). Best of luck!

Sew Fearless is about a reckless pursuit of the sewing craft. It is about not letting your fears talk you out of your dreams. It is a place to go for encouragement, information, and sewing camaraderie. It’s a place where “done” is better than “perfect”, and where saying “I didn’t try” is worse than “I failed”. Read More…
