For a one piece apron like the black one, you need just over however long you want to make it, which for me is generally 0.8m. For the vintage styled ones, I think I had 1.25 yards. This because of the gored skirt taking up more than a square cut one would. And of course you can always mix and match fabrics any way you like to make it work!MrsC (Maryanne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14440723067459232998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5024572182015008955.post-85184884734286758822011-12-23T01:41:32.910-08:002011-12-23T01:41:32.910-08:00How much fabric would you say an apron takes?

My mother the Embroidenator makes them that way - she puts a big button hole on one side, loops the neck strap through it, and attaches the loop back with a button and another button hole, if that makes sense. not endlessly adjustable but customisable, and a nice button on the neckstrap adds to it. My husbad and I are blessedly alike in our fit of things like aprons and car seat adjustments, for some inexplicable reason as he is 5 inches taller than me and half the width! :)MrsC (Maryanne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14440723067459232998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5024572182015008955.post-62367792821404783182011-10-29T21:02:49.861-07:002011-10-29T21:02:49.861-07:00Very pretty!

I love how the black one makes the contrast fabric really pop.<br /><br />I make aprons out of remnants of what's probably thermal-lined curtain fabric, so that they have some water-resistance. They're not entirely waterproof but they provide added protection against splashes of liquids as well as flour and the like. I've recently seen a tutorial over at the Purl Bee that I intend to adapt, so that we can have adjustable straps (I make mine to measure, really, but if I grab my husband's apron, it's altogether the wrong size for me, so adjustable straps would be great).Felicity from Down Undernoreply@blogger.com
