Pattern Description: This pattern is for a Kappogi, a Japanese "mama-san" apron/coverall

Pattern Sizing: small/medium/large

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, except for the length of the sleeves

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I have always loved this style of coverup/apron and, as far as I know, this is the only commercial pattern for it.

Fabric Used:Quilting cottons from various sources

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I lengthened the sleeves about 4 inches.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I highly recommend it and will definitely sew it again!

Conclusion: This is a very practical, attractive way to cover up when cooking (I must be very messy, because those little aprons do me no good!)

Cute apron and thanks for the website. I have been gifted 7 rolls of japanese kimono silk and keep looking for ideas that use only 15" fabric widths. Some of these might.
