Half-Apron

Ever since I was young I have liked half-aprons.  However, they are not as practical as a full apron seeing as I usually spill food above my waist when I'm eating or cooking.  But that doesn't stop me from making them and enjoying them.  Here is the apron I started on Saturday and finished on Monday.  I made a big mistake at about 6:30 on Saturday night and decided to stop and start again.  What is difficult in the evening is easy peasy in the morning. 

When I started to cut out this pretty little thing I found that I didn't actually have enough fabric for the pattern.  What!  Panic!  But it was a short-lived panic.  I decided to cut out what I could and improvise later.  Actually, it was only the tie-strings that I had to improvise and it turned out well if you ask me. 

Just a close-up to see the fabric a little better.  I love ruffles and I love contrast.  My mom helped me pick out the pink fabric and I bought the blue fabric in UT last spring.
