Man's apron-Design a freebie,link below-This was a piece of fabric on my dresser,I was giving my sister, but cut me an apron off of today.Tell me,do you like the pockets and the stitch across them, for a man or not? I used an old pattern I had since the 9th grade.When you get to KBK page, click on free monthly designs,bottom right.Then the design is in 2012 August.I loved the way it stitched,no problem,does have some jump stitches, but as I 'babysit' my machine,I just clipped as it went along.Last photo- is still a lot of this fabric left and as it is a thick twill,she couldn't have used it for her quilt pieces.She is due back home tomorrow,so we will see what she takes.Thanks for looking-Toogie

16686Nice job. The pattern looks familiar, I might just have it somewhere. :) From back when you could afford to buy the pattern and material at the same time, right?

Isn't that the truth.-LOL Did you get the design,or do you already have it like me? I've had it awhile but just now used it.I really liked the stitching.

5822FYI-The link is now working, I just down-loaded the design again, to be sure.Sorry it wasn't working earlier.
10977766014I think it looks great - love the design. The stitching at the pocket adds definition so you know there is a pocket instead of blending in. For another male's view my husband also liked it AND would wear it.

Well thank your husband for me,I like his opinion better than my B-I-L's-I thought it would look better with the black stitching too and I thought this wouldn't be a girly stitch.Thanks
707This is perfect for a manly apron. I really like that design & the stitching. You accomplish so much it seems.

Thank you but you give me too much credit, Carolyn aka noah, is the workhorse here!
1821This is great for the fellows. Yours looks more "manly" than the one on the pattern. I didn't realize until I scrolled down that you had emb the design, I thought it was stamped on and you just made the apron. Hope I can find it before the summer BBQ season starts.
PS How many hours do you haver in your day???You make good use of them!!

Thank you and I don't think I get nearly enough done.My son and g-son are here now for haircuts, so naturally my husband needs one too,while I'm into it.-LOL
8230Toogie! Your apron looks like you bought it at some high-end boutique :) Beautiful Job! You could make one for yourself now, with some of the same fabric and do the embroidery in a pink or purple. lol Flowers to all!!!

299559OMG! I think I have that exact pattern somewhere. Your man apron is great, and pockets are good for BBQ tools and such. I think the embroidery you did on the pocket is nice, and definitely not girlie.

Thank you.I was feeling good about it, until an older BIL came.He said he didn't wear aprons and somebody made him one,one time,still has it but never wore.I guess I'll have to make sure whoever gets it appreciate it.
4440KBK free design page said not found error 404 on all designs even the on for January 2014. This is sad because after seeing this wonderful apron you made I was hoping to pull out one of my old patterns and make me one. Love your work keep up the good job.

Hi,thanks.I am sorry to say I haven't met you before, but I saw something you posted and I looked back at your old projects.I really liked your mylar owl tee-shirt with the scrolls and the bling.Very pretty.I also read about the husband that might be jealous of the machine/pc.Mine is. He is retired,watches TV/ball games/etc I dislike and am not going to waste my time there.His house is clean,he has something to eat and his clothes are washed, what more could he ask for?-LOL
4550This is a really nice apron for the man in your life! I like the heavier fabrics better for men, since they are not so "gentle" with things, (especially when they are outside grilling). i alos think the pocket stitching is just perfect.. It's just enough to be seen and add a little interest to the pocket area. Nicely done.

That's what I thought too,but then after I stitched it across,I was unsure if it still looked 'manly'. You know they don't want to look sissy.lol
31625Be careful Toogie, her fabric stash may disappear. lol! Just kidding, your apron is awesome!!! Very nice apron, I love it, I like that ladies one too on the pattern, have you made it too?

Thanks, a classic pattern, but a modern styled chefs apron,I call it.Loved this design.Looks like when they stamp your meat government inspected.
261162You did the pattern good. I like lots of pockets so you know my answer. lol

Thanks, the fabric is a little thick, so it should be good protection.I like pockets too,just didn't know if a man would like this decorative stitch on them.
89895Love it how you have done it, Toogie! I always add a pocket to my aprons and men are used to have a pocket on everything they wear. The pocket on the apron is not only useful but also provides an extra layer of fabric protecting the cook's clothes.
Hugs, Lidia

I hope you were able to get it.It gave me an 404error message but it did work earlier.
143Love your modern version from your older pattern. Love the decorative stitches and pockets. Modern version is for either man or woman. I love the ladies style on your pattern envelope too. I made my dil an apron with adjustable strap looked something like this. She uses to keep dry after getting little guys out of bathtub. It was girl type fabric. The design makes this one guy apron as guys are really handy for the barbecue, making them the BEST. At least that is what I love having my helper handy for grill time. hugs~Mary

When I was in school,I made a solid, lt blue one, with med rick-rack.I wore it for years and when I was pregnant, I took the ties out of the pleats/darts and still wore it! I did put adjustable staps on this one,as I don't know who is getting it,just wanted to make SOMETHING,since I finished my room.-LOL

I smiled at the thought you went to your get rid of pile or should I say share with your sister. pile. Does feel good to make something after cleaning up. I am into 2 things currently cleaning files and cutting strips. I have fabric strings all over. But still in good shape.
