We’re all in a lockdown here, so we can’t celebrate Christmas this year like we have in years past. We can’t have family over, and I won’t be making a big Christmas dinner. However, I did do one thing to cheer myself up a bit. 

A few years ago I sewed up a few aprons – one for Em, one for her mom, one for a dear cousin, one for another friend. And for some reason, I don’t have a photo of a single one of them. So, I’ll share my most recent make, and some photos with links to the one I kept.

I’ve used cotton apron panels for these. and they’re pretty, functional, and very easy.  

Mine are changed a little in that I make mine double-sided. I love a double-sided apron. They can be reversible, but I only put a pocket on the front.

Here’s my Christmas apron.This is a Northcott panel called Angels Above. As soon as I saw it, I really just had to have it. 

This panel didn’t have a pocket, so I cut out two angels, and made a double-sided pocket. I like a finished pocket too, rather than it being unfinished on the inside.The pocket is the same coordinating fabric I used for the back of the apron.

Here’s the back, or reverse side of the apron. Oh, that’s pretty. I’m very pleased with my new Christmas apron.

My favorite apron panel that I made for myself is this one.

Oh, I love my very-well-worn one too. As much as my new one. If you love it it too, there’s a link in the photo.

I used this coordinating fabric to do the reverse on my apron. But if you search for Willington Prints – Della Terra, you’ll find a lot of other fun prints you could use for the back too.I hope every is safe and healthy! I’m looking forward to celebrating Christmas  in early (I hope) 2021! Happy holidays and happy creating!
