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

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.
