Sewing Tutorial: Garden Apron from fat quarters

This pretty apron is made from 5fat quarters, plus a 1/2 yard of fabric for the top (bib) and lining. Sew4Home has a tutorial showing how to make it. It was designed to make the most efficient use of the fabrics, with very few scraps left over. Their version is made from a stack of Amy Butler florals, and would be right at home at a garden party. Go to Sew4Home for the how-to.
