the emmeline apron
EDIT: Pattern is now available here!
I've been bursting at the seams to show you this new pattern design, which will be available in January! After weeks of muslin mayhem in my crafting corner, I've finally come up with this little lovely: completely reversible, ties in the front or back, and flattering for all body types. I hope you all love Miss Emmeline as much as I do!
I'm so glad I have to wear aprons every day to work. I'm gathering quite a little collection, and I'm sure I'll be making many more 2-in-1 Emmelines to spruce up my schoolmarm-ishness. If you can't wait to have your own cute apron or if you are looking to purchase one for a gift, I highly suggest that you be-bop over to Jamie Christina's Etsy shop and take a look at her gorgeous aprons!
This post was my one valiant effort for the day - I'm home sick with a really crummy cough. Really, now. How many times can one person be sick in the span of three months? I'm going to submit myself for the Guinness Book of World Records. I'm off to rest with a cup of hot something rather. As soon as I'm feeling better, I will be doing the pattern layouts for both the Gnome Messenger Bag and the Emmeline Apron (the instructions are already written!) Then I'll be looking for some pattern testers. ***Thank you for your interest - I've found my pattern testers for the Emmeline Apron!***

hope you feel better real soon!
i'd be a good pattern tester, cause if i can figure it out...anyone should be able to figure it out! LOVE THE APRON!!!
I adore that apron. Again, count me in as a pattern tester. I hope you feel better quickly.
I would love to be a pattern tester. Get well soon!
wow, i really like that! that would be fun to make - and it really looks feminine and pretty.
oh well I guess I live too far away to be a pattern tester anyway! Absolutely gorgeous and when it is ready, I will buy the pattern!
I love this apron - I want to make one for my sister (especially after I saw the wonderful aprons at Jamie Christina's etsy shop) so I'll be on the lookout for your pattern! The messenger bag is too cute too (and I have some gnome fabric).
Wow. This is THE apron that I have been waiting for. It's perfect!
absolutely adorable. that is my kind of apron...I have been looking for just the right one for me for some time now. I keep finding the perfect apron for everyone I could want to make one for but this is the first one I could see myself wearing. Nice job on the great design. Need a tester...I will be ready to sign up. Otherwise, I will be looking forward to finding it in your shop.
I am absolutely in love with Emmaline! It is the perfect apron. I can't wait to make one!
Could that apron be any cuter? Looking forward to buying that pattern to add to my apron collection in Kiwiland;-)
Oh it's wonderful! Can't wait for pattern .. .
OMG! Absolutely adorable:) I can't wait for the pattern!
This apron is so adorable! I was never really into the whole apron thing...but I think seeing this I'm converted. I love the green/brown one paired with your cute white shirt and upturned jeans. Darling!
Looks like you have plenty of offers, but I will throw my name in the hat of pattern testers, too! I am really happy with your other patterns, so I imagine these will be just as wonderful.
This apron is gorgeous! I can't wait til the pattern is available.
oh my gosh, so cute. Absolutely love it. Great work!
oh my - I am just excited! over the apron that is - not your cold! Hope you feel better soon...not be a downer but just wait until you do have children...i've never been so sick (over and over and over...) - ha! God bless the little buggers (no pun intended)
Fabulous! I can't wait for the pattern--this is the apron I've been waiting for, as well. It almost makes me want to cook. Almost. :)
I can't wait for this apron patter. I would love to be a pattern tester! Haven't made an apron yet - still waiting for the perfect pattern - this is it!
i cannot wait! i want one for myself and i have a friend who would love it too!
That is so gorgeous! And I'm not on the whole apron bandwagon that all the other crafters are on.
But, I love that. And I will buy the pattern. And I will make it. As God is my witness. :)
I'm seriously going to start shopping for fabric for it now.
May I just say that I have been coming back to your first apron post over and over again, coveting, wondering if my novice sewing skills could replicate such a beauty. And to know there is a pattern coming soon? I am a little chagrined at the depth of my excitement. Love love love it!
Now i can look forward to January for a change - can't wait to order both these patterns :o)
Gorgeous! I can't wait for those patterns! Will they be printed or pdf?
Yay! Glad you like Miss E!
Aniexma - the patterns will be professionally printed.
I WILL TEST YOUR PATTERN! I've recently started sewing and have already made my own version of your super cute jumper! Would love to try my hand at the apron!
I have a feeling you won't be short of testers! That apron looks gorgeous and you already know about my passion for the Gnome Messenger bag.
gorgeous girlie apron! LOVELY! Love it! Hope you and me both feel better soon. Laurie xo
What darling patterns - both! I have some gnome fabric and have been stumped - until now:) I'd be happy to test anything:) Hope you are feeling better - but good to get the "crummies" out of the way before the holidays!
Ahhh, I hope you come out with the pattern sooner or that I can be a test knitter because I have been looking for an empire waist apron pattern to make for my friend as a xmas gift since since she is ample in the middle. This would be perfect!
She's a beaute, that Miss Emmeline. You must be proud as a peacock! How could you even stand yourself as you were dreaming her up?
I wish the pattern was going to be out by Xmas, as my little sis is a newlywed, and is turning out to be quite the little cook/entertainer. I didn't know she had it in her! Maybe I'll give her an IOU, or give her a 'just because' gift in the New Year!

Such a cute apron! I would definitely buy that - I've been looking for 'the one' and that has to be it!
You're right about it suiting most body types too - it would even look good on petite bosomy girls like me who can be swamped by fabric and look frumpy in a lot of aprons.
Yay! I look forward to buying a pattern when it's available.
I'm looking forward to your gnome bag pattern - if you need another tester, I'd be happy to. :)
I love it! It would make a darn cute dress too! :)
It's gorgeous! I hope you get to feeling better, and I can't wait for the patterns to come out. :)
OOhhh I want to be a pattern tester, pretty please!!!
That apron is so pretty- you should make a dress version!
oh, what a gorgeous apron! it looks like a dress! you're amazing. looking forward to the gnome bag. ahem, i'll test patterns....
hope you feel better. that's too bad you're sick again, geez.
This is the classiest looking apron I've ever seen! I'd just about wear this out to the shops! Very, very nice. If you need an Australian (!) pattern tester, I'd be more than willing.
i hope that you feel better soon. Love the pattern and the fabrics that you used! Hmmm...
The apron is awesome. Feel better.
Meg as soon as you posted the pic for the Christmas apron (red and green) I have been lusting after it!! It is just the most gorgeous apron, and I love it with the big ties on it. Very beautiful! I too would love to test the pattern for you...and if not I will be buying it as soon as it' out!!
Hope your feeling better, your not alone, a bug is going around my town that just lingers on and off for weeks, just down to the cough now! I love this apron, but have yet to find one that makes a hippy girl look good? lol
The apron is fabulous, I love it! I can't wait for the gnome messenger bag pattern too!
the emmeline apron is a christmas wish come true! when i saw your holiday apron i was dreaming of having one of my own, but i lack your mad skills and need a pattern. thank you for reading my mind...feel better soon!
I too really like the apron and will definitely be buying a pattern... Get well soon!
LOVE it!! I'll be buying that one :-) ALso, are you still working on getting a pattern out for the child's smock?? I would love that one for my kids.
I hope you feel better soon. I am so completely and utterly in love with this apron!!! I'd very willingly test it out. If not test it out then I shall wait (perhaps impatiently :-) ) for the pattern to be in print in January. I've been on an apron kick for a while now. Just finished one last night.

love that! i can't wait to buy that and the gnome bag pattern! love your stuff!
Ooooh, this is BEAUTIFUL! I'll be glad to test the pattern. ;)
I love the emmeline apron! great job
and hope you feel better soon.
peace
i just love it.
I am so glad that you are making a pattern for this apron. I just loved it when I first saw it on your blog. Can't wait until January!
Oh, I'm SO glad your making a pattern to sell! I've been thinking of asking if you might do so. I've been searching for just the right apron to make and just fell in love with the first one you made. I'm terrible at making up patterns too. Thanks for doing this. I can't wait to order!
super cute. It looks like a little dress, I love it. Your fabric selection is beautiful.
I've been waiting ... and I mean WAITING for an apron that doesn't scream my mother, but doesn't look like the waiter down the street, actually adds a bit of feminine to it too ... love that it's reversible and that there's an actual halter top feel to it. You found that balance ... now I cross my fingers that my sister will sew it for me ... I'm a NOVICE for sure. :-) love it !
Lovely. Can you tell us where you got that beautiful blue/brown fabric?
The blue fabric is from Anna Maria Horner's Chocolate Lollipop line - here's an ebay seller who has it:
http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfrppZ25QQfrtsZ125QQsassZcdfk
The green paisley is Heather Bailey's Freshcut.
Thanks for all of the glowing reviews! I'm so glad that you're excited about the pattern!
Too sweet! How did you come up with the name? My 3yo daughter's name is Emeline - very uncommon!
I loved this design the moment I saw it in your earlier post! It is oh so flattering! I can't wait to receive the pattern... Patience is not a virtue of mine...
Hey Meg........would it be possible to have a version that covered part of the heiny!! I'm a butt wiper!!! That is...I wipe my hands on my backside quite a bit. My aprons have to go all the way around. Maybe a scoop that rounds to to the tie in the back on both sides??
If you don't have enough pattern testers, I'd love to volunteer. My 12 year old niece is aspiring to be a pastry chef and I'd love to make this for her.
It's a beautiful apron! I love it -in fact I would love it to have a back so I could make a dress!
Hope you are better soon!
Ohh, pick me pick me pick me!
That apron is about the cutest I have ever seen! I can hardly wait to get a pattern. Equally love your blog. Feel better soon!
this apron is so beautiful!
love it!
I hope you feel better soon!!! (Just know that you're probably building up immunities slowly...that's the downside of working with little ones everyday!)
I love the apron and will definately be making one when you are done with the pattern!!!
(I just realized the link to your blog on mine was wrong and I've been missing your postings!!!)
I love it how you just throw in there at the end that you'll be looking for pattern testers, very sly!
I would love to test the pattern. I love to sew and have been sewing since I was about 6yrs.
I have tested a knitting pattern before so I know about testing and what to look for with issues and such, I'd love to help!!
BEAUtiful aprons by the way!!
Your apron is absolutely beautiful. I have one that my brother got for me from New York that has a similar fit and I love it. I would also like to put in my name for pattern tester. Monday I quit my job so I could stay at home and explore some other options, this opportunity would be great! Kris cowgirlupkw@hotmail.com
I am in LOVE!!!! We need the pattern ASAP! This Mama needs to punch up her apron collection!
Addie
Another pattern tester here! Soooo cute! Cant wait!
Love your blog, and wow, what a sweet apron! I'm not a big apron person, but I'd happily make and wear one like this. And although I'm fairly new to sewing, I'd happily be a pattern tester for ya!
it's great . . . i really love it!
What is the brown and blue fabric? I love it! My favorite colors. I love your pattern. Can't wait for it to come out.
just beautiful.
If you have time, I have tagged you. No pressure.
I would love this pattern. I would be happy to test. If you don't need more testers, let me know when the pattern is available please!
Can you believe this post just finally made it over to bloglines?! *sob* I would love to be a pattern tester for you, for any pattern, any day!! Let me know if you need anyone to test for the bag :)
Hi
Well I couldn't wait and had to wing my own version of your beautiful apron, I'm hosting Christmas this year so I needed something special ;) if you'd like to check it out I have pictures on my blog www.homeschoolblogger.com/4kids4me/
Sorry I missed the chance to be a tester for you. I have just completed another of your patterns, the Reading Pillow (http://craftladysings.blogspot.com/ to see picture). The pattern was so easy to follow - even for a beginner like me. I look forward to this pattern coming out and will definitely buy one!
Thanks!
oh fer heaven's sake, that is a sweet apron!! I rarely one, but I may have to get the pattern for this cutie!!
ohhh wow... I luv this apron.... I cna't wait for the pattern.
I have just found oyur blog through kids craft weekly..... and I love it... great work.
luv Abby
meg-
please let me know when you are ready with the pattern so I can post about it on Tie One On!
the apron is gorgeous!!
long time lurker
first time poster - though i love all your patterns -
i am really looking forward to this pattern.
my assistant is a huge fan of apron wearing and i am always looking for something both practical and fashionable
I can't wait! Good luck geting it all finished and posted. You are going to have a long line of buyers, I think. That is marevelous. I am so happy that you were able to look at something else and come up with a pattern of your own. I have had the same ideas myself with another apron. It is fun to be able to put it all together.
January, you say? That is THE most adorable apron I have ever had the pleasure to see. Normally I see something I like, and then go try to make my own pattern. No point, this time. I couldn't match the perfection, and it'll be ready soon anyway!
Anxiously awaiting your pattern. ;)
I'm a long time lurker of your blog. I love reading your posts!
Cindie
Oh LOVE this apron! It is absolutely gorgeous. I can't wait till the pattern comes out - will definitely be wanting it for my collection.
I hope to see your pattern soon! :-)
love this apron, and it would go perfectly with my chair covers! http://peitseoga.blogspot.com/2007/08/some-sewing.html
Any chance that the pattern will be for sale again?
I know this post is dated but I would love to find the pattern for the emmeline apron, however, the link doesn't work. I LOVE it though!
Can you help?
Go to her new site and on the left hand side is a link to buy patterns. I've been eyeing this pattern for a long time...love it...and just ordered it today. When I saw your comment I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find it. I'm so excited to make it!
Her new site:
http://www.sewliberated.typepad.com
Does anyone have a pattern to make an apron that would fit over the back of an elementary school chair. The child would store items such as crayons, glue, ruler, .... into pockets of various sizes. The apron should be easy to remove for cleaning.
I ordered this pattern and made it today. I'm a total beginner sewer, and this was the first time I've ever used interfacing, bias tape or darts. IT WORKED! It's beautiful. I made one adjustment though, because I wanted to just slip the halter top on over my head so I sewed the bias strips in a loop instead of 2 ties. Turned out great!
Emily
It's so beautiful!! I can't wait to try it!
