I cut flowers out from two of the prints and fused them onto the apron.

I didn't have time to hire a model... so here I am wearing it in the kitchen before I mailed it off!

I made bias tape from the fabric and used it to trim the entire apron. I also added a ruffle... and I love how the ruffle turned out!

Would anyone be interested in a tutorial on how I did the ruffle?
{ I didn't use a ruffle foot... }
