I have seen some cute aprons all over the internet and have been wanting to make me one to replace my stained and UGLY old one. I used this pattern which I was able to purchase from Ben Franklin (with a 40% off coupon) and love it. My daughter is modeling it for you. My husband absolutely refused and the pictures he took of me wearing it, made me look as if I had been the victim of some serious accident involving the loss of some major limbs.
If you would rather use a free pattern there are a bunch of links TipNut has already found and compiled for you here.
The material was purchased at JoAnn’s and is called “Sweet Cherry” from Alexander Henry Fabrics Collection from 2004. Having a cute apron makes me want to be in the kitchen just so I can have an excuse to wear it.

I had no idea you even had three columns! You mentioned a link to learn how to make a three column layout and I thought you just left your third column blank! (It's a super easy fix, just change you numbers a bit in your html code to keep that third column from dropping off. If you want to send me your code I can fix it for you!) Love the cherry apron by the way! (I LOVE cherries!)
I always saw three columns. I think your blog looks really great. And that apron, oh my. That would make me want to cook and bake all the time. The little ones would love that. They just bribed me into making lemon cookies with them. Yes, it worked. I'm easily bribed with kisses and hugs :-)
that's a cute little apron.
Love your apron! It's great!
I see three, too. My blog apparently has the same problem. It depends on which browser you're using and how big your screen is, I hear.
super darling
I have been wanting to make an apron for a long time, maybe as soon as school is back in. Aahhhh…
Just an idea – the column issue may be a browser issue. I noticed when viewing your blog in Microsoft Explorer, I see the three columns, but in Firefox, the third is floating at the bottom. Not sure how to fix that, but that could be why.
I want to be you in my next life. You are so stinkin crafty and just so full of great ideas, that you actually finish.
I love the little rick rack trim!!
I hope your giveaway is an apron. Or you'll have to post the no-sew way to do it for all of us who are needle and thread challenged.
I can see three columns…sorry I wish I had some advise to help; I am way too dumb in the computer department!
Those cherries ar FANTASTIC!! And the ric-rac! Oh, so retro. I LOVE it!!
Would you give a tutorial on how to read/follow patterns? I would like to sew, but I can't figure out how to use the patterns. I know. Call me weird, dumb, or crazy!
I love this apron. The material you choose is perfect too.
