Well, here's the apron project I've been fooling with. It's close to fitting correctly and close to looking like the picture on the pattern envelope...but it still needs work.
The biggest problem area right now is the princess seam down the front of the apron. It kind of lost the shapeliness, probably because I cut the pattern down so much. I also need to re-draft the scallops in the front detail (I just cut them out for this tester apron).
I'm going to show the pattern pieces to my friend who is an expert dressmaker to get some help, because I think it has potential to be a really cute apron! So until then, I am ready to take stock of my sewing "to-make" list to see what I want to concentrate on next! Which might take awhile, 'cause it's really a long list...

It's already a really cute apron. It looks just like the envelop. I like the fabric you chose.
I think it looks fanTAStic, and my goodness, if it were possible to fit a panel down the back to reduce the exposure factor, I would totally wear something like that out, over cropped leggings and a T. The contrast piping makes it!
What a cute apron! I personally like an apron that covers more of me than just from the waist down. When I make a mess, I really make a mess!
I like it! It's so retro and girlie looking. How fun to have a stylish apron like this while fluttering about in the kitchen. I like aprons that cover the top to protect your whole front side from messy cooking.
Its still very cute! Good luck with your altering. That's the painful part isn't it?
I think it looks awesome! Way to go!
