I finished the apron and here it is! It turned out cute and took me between 3 and 4 hours to complete. A more experienced seamstress could whip this out in no time but as I am an extremely rusty sewer, I thought 3-4 hours was pretty good. I usually stick to straight seams. Sewing pillows and very simple curtains are about as complex as I get. But, I have to say this was a lot of fun and the directions were clear and very easy to follow.
Want to make one of your own? Visit Jodi over at Pleasant Home to take a peek and some photos of other completed aprons from her pattern kits and then pop over to Pleasant Home on Etsy and pick out a fabric combination you like. She does most of the work for you (except the sewing :)) and the fabric combos she offers all work perfectly together.

The flower print is so awesome. Great summertime colors!
You did great, Lisa! I don't think 3-4 hours is bad at all.
I love it! Great job.

I love this! It reminds me of one of the ones my mom-in-law used to wear! I think I may try this!
I love it and you did a great job sewing. It's almost to pretty to cook in.
Great job! Love the fabrics you chose. I may have to order that pattern for myself.
