  <description><![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A is for <strong>adorable</strong> and <strong>amazingly</strong> irresistible and incredibly <strong>attractive</strong>: who would have imagined that the apron, that charming and nostalgic symbol of domesticity, would become today&#8217;s must-have home accessory? But it most certainly is, as stitchers and crafters flock to these creative canvases as the perfect vehicle for showcasing fabulous fabric, simple embellishments, and novel ideas. These ingenious projects&#8212;from ultra-feminine and vintage chic to whimsical color-play&#8212;include waist and bib aprons, pinafores, smocks, cobblers, and even something for the pint-sized cook. All of the projects are photographed in a playful style. And templates, sewing basics, and quick and easy projects for sprucing up store-bought aprons and whipping up aprons from recycled materials are here too!<br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[Oh my cuteness! I have been making aprons for gifts and this has some amazing aprons. I haven't made any yet from this book, but it's going to be hard to choose. Most of the aprons don't seem overly complicated, but a good way to learn some sewing techniques (if you're a sewing amateur like me).

    <body><![CDATA[Cool designs.  Just hope you can do some math or have a copy place nearby that can do enlargements.  If you're looking for ideas, this shows you a lot of vintage aprons, as well as some more current looks.  The hardest part is trying to find the fabric you want!]]></body>

The book probably deserves five stars, but I haven't tried any of the patterns so I can't say if they're all that &quot;amazing.&quot; In fact, as stated somewhere in the beginning, this book is not for beginners.

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A is for <strong>adorable</strong> and <strong>amazingly</strong> irresistible and incredibly <strong>attractive</strong>: who would have imagined that the apron, that charming and nostalgic symbol of domesticity, would become today&#8217;s must-have home accessory? But it most certainly is, as stitchers and crafters flock to these creative canvases as the perfect vehicle for showcasing fabulous fabric, simple embellishments, and novel ideas. These ingenious projects&#8212;from ultra-feminine and vintage chic to whimsical color-play&#8212;include waist and bib aprons, pinafores, smocks, cobblers, and even something for the pint-sized cook. All of the projects are photographed in a playful style. And templates, sewing basics, and quick and easy projects for sprucing up store-bought aprons and whipping up aprons from recycled materials are here too!<br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A is for <strong>adorable</strong> and <strong>amazingly</strong> irresistible and incredibly <strong>attractive</strong>: who would have imagined that the apron, that charming and nostalgic symbol of domesticity, would become today&#8217;s must-have home accessory? But it most certainly is, as stitchers and crafters flock to these creative canvases as the perfect vehicle for showcasing fabulous fabric, simple embellishments, and novel ideas. These ingenious projects&#8212;from ultra-feminine and vintage chic to whimsical color-play&#8212;include waist and bib aprons, pinafores, smocks, cobblers, and even something for the pint-sized cook. All of the projects are photographed in a playful style. And templates, sewing basics, and quick and easy projects for sprucing up store-bought aprons and whipping up aprons from recycled materials are here too!<br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>
