Ship Shape Apron

This cute apron will help make anyone's house ship shape in no time! I lined this apron completely, and by completely I mean even the pockets, in white cotton. Then I added a white cotton ruffle to accent the bottom and the pockets. Red thread really brought out the pockets with top-stitching, and the waistband has lots of stitchery in rows and zig zagged throughout! This apron took far longer than it should have. It seems that interruptions get me side tracked easily, and then I remember to come back and work! All in all, this turned out cute. My favorite part about this apron is the ruffles. Because they are the white cotton, folded over, gathered, and then stitched on they are a double thickness, causing them to stand stiffly on their own. The second favorite thing is the weight of this apron. I hate wearing a flimsy apron that feels like tissue paper. I'm always moving too fast and it floats around and gets caught in things. This apron's weight keeps it in place, and the double thickness is good if you're working around things that might get you wet.
Oh, and on a side note? Tying an apron to a music stand is harder than it appears to be!
