I found your apron tutorial on Pinterest. I got a sewing machine for Christmas and this apron was the first thing I’ve sew on it. I love my apron!! It’s cute and super functional. I’ve always hating not having something handy to grab the handle on my cast iron skillet with and now I’m set! I’m going to be featuring the apron I made apron with links back to your tutorial on my blog over the weekend. Thanks for the walk-through.

I love this pattern, and also just a little tip from my mom and grandmother…
Use the guys old worn out quilted over shirts for potholders, be it in the apron or not. Mom saved me some of dads, which is a lot less expensive than buying the hot pad material, also have used double layers of old denim. I can’t wait to make this one, but will do like Dayna and make it a full apron. Thanks again

Thanks so much for the tutorial. Made the apron and it is great! Instead of tacking down in the center of the pads, I added a little loop of fabric to hook over my finger, making the hotpad a little easier to grasp! Making more for Christmas presents!

What a great idea! I went totally maverick on it, but I loved the idea of the pleats and the hot pads. I ended up making it into a full apron, as most of my spills & splatters take place up higher. I made a couple of changes on the skirt and added bias binding around most of the edges. Thanks a bunch for walking me through the hot pad and pleat portions!

This is awesome! I was recently thinking I needed to make an apron, because I am often cooking in my work clothes and don’t want to get them messsy. I also hate searching for hot pads….and especially since I know i own a ton of them….why aren’t they ever handy when I need them? Anyhow…problem solved! I will definitely try this out!
