Featured Pattern – Friday Night Apron

Featured Pattern – Friday Night Apron

Vanilla House Designs‘ sassy Friday Night Apron is perfect for apron lovers who want something stylish and flattering. This fully-lined apron has an attractive halter bodice that looks almost like a cute party dress, and the wide, curve waistband is bound to look good on anyone.

You can make this pattern in any fabric you like–I think it would be fun in a kitchen-themed novelty print, like RJR’s What’s Cookin’, deigned by Dan Morris. Wouldn’t this be great in one of the cupcake prints, accented by the checks? Check out the entire collection in the slideshow below, and look for this fabric and pattern in your favorite independent quilt shop or fabric store.
