Apron Sewing Patterns - Vintage, Retro & Modern Aprons!

We've added a new section of Apron Sewing Patterns to the store this week. You'll find a fun variety of apron styles, including vintage aprons, retro aprons, and modern aprons! You'll have fun choosing your favorite apron pattern, selecting just the right fabrics, and creating your own unique apron style.

Sewing an apron is an easy sewing project for beginners, with many of the styles using a minimal number of pattern pieces and basic sewing techniques. Patterns include fabric and notion requirements, layout diagrams, and complete instructions. Some patterns will specify a certain type or weight of fabric, so you'll want to be sure to follow the designer's suggestions when selecting your fabric.

There are apron styles to fit every occasion! Aprons serve so many purposes, from keeping your clothes clean to making a fashion statement. You may want to select a full coverage apron to use while cooking or crafting. Or, you may choose a half apron to wear over jeans and a t-shirt as a fashion accessory. There are so many choices!

Choosing your fabric is one way to really make the apron your own.

You may want to match your fabrics with the apron style, for example, by combining vintage inspired fabrics with a vintage apron pattern for an authentic rendition of a look from the past.

Or, you could mix it up, by selecting modern fabrics and a retro style apron pattern for a fresh contemporary look. There really aren't any rules to follow. The fun is in creating an apron that appeals to your own sense of style!

Here's a sampling of the variety of apron sewing patterns you'll find in the store.
