Lined Apron Tutorial at lululollylegs
This is *adorable*! I have a friend getting married this fall and I’m thinking about making her one for a shower gift. My sister-in-law Michelle gave me a super cute, girly apron for Christmas, and I was surprised how much I love having it. (Cute blog overall, too.)
