Aunt Gail said... This is just a knock out creating you've made. The black background and all the wonderful white accents. I am just so enthused about your work. TY for sharing and the pix were a special reason for this being a VERY helpful review 9/13/10 10:43 PM

barebear said... Impressive! I really like it. :) 9/14/10 2:25 AM
arianamaniacs said... Very feminine and the appliques turned out great! It's wonderful to put so much work into a garment that you end up loving! 9/14/10 4:55 AM
blessedtosew said... Beautiful!!! That is a work of art!!! 9/14/10 8:42 AM
ALY said... Gorgeous apron, lovely applique work. I would be afraid to wear something this lovely when cooking for fear of getting food or grease on it. I have seen people who use vintage aprons hanging from decortive hooks as "art" in their kitchens. 9/14/10 9:09 AM
marec said... Wonderful work Aroura! Wow, the details and workmanship on this are superb. I really like the applique against the black/white print. Oh, and the buttons!! 9/14/10 10:53 AM
pterion said... What a great retro style. A lot of work clearly went into making your apron and it looks wonderful. I wouldn't want to mess it up by actually cooking in it either! 9/14/10 2:54 PM
Aroura said... Thanks you all very much! There is a small part of me that is afraid of getting it stained (the white parts), but then I made this one to use, since I don't own any other apron. I've already worn it to make dinner last night, and I felt pretty and it was totally practical at the same time. Can't wait to show it off for company during the holidays! 9/14/10 2:55 PM
Athene said... Gorgeous apron - I love retro looking aprons and appreciate all the effort that went into making this one look so great. 9/14/10 6:07 PM
Hilary said... Wow, nice apron!! You did a great job-I think underlining it was a very good idea. It looks very sturdy, and pretty at the same time! 9/14/10 6:08 PM
talesofawannabe said... Amazing apron! This is in my sewing queue and you're review will most certainly be helpful. :] 9/15/10 5:48 PM
JillyBe said... You know, your review has almost convinced me to make mine again (but do it right this time lol!) 9/15/10 6:45 PM
dukaqwn said... I really like this apron! I am gonna have to try this pattern. Something that I have entirely been lacking is an apron or smock because I am forever soiling my clothes when cooking or cleaning. I need a separate one to wear just when I plan to pet my 6 babies - cats! 9/15/10 8:25 PM
jannw said... How wonderful! What a great job you did and thanx for the tute. My Grandmother and Aunts all had "holiday" aprons..used when company was present as opposed to the everyday ones. You made a great example...enjoy 9/17/10 4:48 AM
