Okay I have wanted an apron for some time. Not just a 50's mom in the kitchen apron but an apron I could USE. So when Amy with Peekaboo Pattern Shop and Naptime Crafters asked me if I would review one of her patterns I jumped at the chance! Yes jumped. Amy sent me a pattern for an apron. But most of her patterns are for babies...read all the way to the bottom of this post to see more! The Pretty Workhorse Apron was made using Amy's pattern plus a few additions by me! Why "Pretty Workhorse"?? Well first for the pretty...
Isn't it too cute?? Love the ruffle trim!! Now for some photography by my 10 year old...
No snickering. I choose a blue paisley fabric with a blue and cream striped accent...
I heart how they contrast yet work together...again loving the ruffle trim!!
Now for the "workhorse" portion. Amy's pattern allowed me to make a two sided apron. So I made my pretty side, then I made a workhorse side....
This side has tons of pockets, loops, everything a girls needs to get the job done!
Get the job done and look good doing it! I used three fabrics on this side but they all worked together so nicely!
So how many of you said...don't loops belong on carpenter pants?? Yes loops can be used to hang your hammer...
But you can also hang your glue gun when you are crafting...
Or your bottle of cleaner when you are cleaning. Yes loops are where it is at!!
So how many of you want an apron now?? Apron wearers unite!!
Amy's pattern was detailed and easy to follow. Plus it let me customize with pockets and loops of my choosing!
Now what about the rest of Amy's shop...
Now what about the rest of Amy's shop...

Sweet apron, and so useful. Makes me want to design my own. I'm not too big on patterns, though it looks like she has some adorable ones!

I thought the apron was cool before you turned it around, and then when I saw all the ways you could use it, I liked it even more. :) Thanks for sharing this week Angie.
I love it! Purty.
