I cut the fabric for this apron over the summer when I went on a major cutting spree and cut fabrics for a bunch of projects. My plan was to make it for my dad’s birthday, but that never happened. So I pushed it back to Christmas.
I have a lot of dog-themed fabric. Some I bought in bundles a long time ago and some I must have bought separately. I used different prints for the top and bottom of the apron and the straps and pocket.
I was going to make it one sided and fold the edges under, like I’ve done with the last couple of aprons I’ve made, but I don’t like having the rough edges you get from the seams. So I decided to make it two-sided. I pulled out this cute border collie fabric. My parents have border collie mixes so the fabric is perfect. I used this plaid for a pocket and sewed it all together.

I didn’t quilt it. I also didn’t take any pictures of me modeling it. The neck strap is too long, even more so than usual. I made it long with the understanding that my dad or my brother might end up wearing it at some point, but the rest of us would need to knot the neck strap. I think the apron is super cute, and Mom and Dad really liked it.
