This one is for my future sister-in-law, who is also my daughters god mother. It is the flirty apron! I followed the tutorial from <a href="http://www.thedatingdivas.com/kristen/flirty-apron-tutorial/" target="_blank">The Dating Divas</a>. This was a lot of fun to make and it turned out beautifully!<br />

I knew I was going to make her an apron so I went on a search through multiple blogs and Pinterest to find the perfect one, with understandable instructions. The <a href="http://www.thedatingdivas.com/kristen/flirty-apron-tutorial/" target="_blank">Flirty Apron</a> has a modern and girly twist that fit her personality perfectly.<br />
<br />
I headed off to Joanns to find fabric. I instantly grabbed the paisley, it has so many bright cheery colors in it. Then the pockets were from a fat quarter i spotted and brought out the oranges and reds in the paisley print. Lastly was the ruffle color. I chose aqua to compliment the pocket color. I was originally going to make the straps in aqua but when I got home, I remembered I had this cream with gold sparkle fabric and it matched too perfectly to not include it!!!<br />

I followed the very easy to read tutorial and used a supermarket circular for the pattern. I changed the pocket because I didn't want a big block of the red-orange fabric in the middle of the apron. I simply drew out the shape of the pocket I wanted, layed it on the apron and adjusted. <br />

I love it! I think I might make another one for myself. This took me about one to two hours to complete. And she loved it!<br />
<br />
If you've made this apron or a similar one, I would love for you to share photos! Thanks!!<br />
