The Inspiration<\/h3>\n

\"SMOCK<\/p>\n

I kept seeing different versions of this simple apron but never a pattern. I’m not sure why I want this so much. I like the old world craftsman look it has and I think it will be a good solution to keeping my phone with me while I move about the house. I also like that it does not have ties which can catch up and hike up shirt hems.<\/p>\n

Of course, I like the simplicity of this design and, being a simple design I thought I could figure out how to make it. But actually, I hoped to come across a pattern before I had to put my brain to work figuring it out. The search went on in vain and I realized I was just procrastinating on challenging myself. I shut down the google and bit the bullet.<\/p>\n

Below is the “how to” for the first version I figured out. It’s made from one yard of quilting cotton and sews up quickly. I also made a longer linen apron more like the inspiration photo (See: “Easy to Make Linen Apron<\/a>“).<\/p>\n

Update<\/h3>\n

I’ve made a 3 part video tutorial for this apron – actually for the apron in the inspiration photo (same as this one but longer)<\/p>\n
