I have enjoyed making this empire waisted apron, I have made one of each of my daughters (3) then purchased some great vintage fabrics and have made three more for friends, I have added a pocket on a couple and featured a small button on the pocket. I enjoyed the whole process and now look for more fabrics to make even more, the bit I enjoy most is choosing three fabrics and each choice throws up a completely different look, really love them, thank you very much. I have your printed off instructions nearby and hope to make many more. Joan
