I had some Christmas money and I was trying to decide between getting a new apron or comic books. This may not seem like a big deal to most, but for me it was an excruciatingly difficult decision.

So I decided to make the decision easier by making my own apron with some IKEA fabric I bought awhile ago.

I used the vintage apron pattern from Amy Karol’s book Bend-the-Rules Sewing. The pattern was really easy to follow but I did run into a few technical snafus, but it turned out alright. I am going to make another one with the fabric I was too scared to use the first time around.
