(Image swiped borrowed from my niece)
A few weeks back my sister gave my niece the most adorable apron. I’m not sure but I think it came from Anthropologie (but I can’t find it on their site). It came from a local antique store called Wisteria (in Soquel – they sell new things too). I’ve been coveting that apron ever since.
Then I saw these and it further fueled my ruffle longing.
So I started a search for an apron pattern – it looks like it would be pretty easy to put together but I’m a girl that needs to see instructions first – even if I have no intention of following them. I do like some guidelines.
Google didn’t come up with much of anything. So I thought I would just look for more examples of this type of apron so I searched on flickr. Well over and over again I would see the same style of apron with the elusive words "made using Morgan’s awesome tutorial" or "my version of Morgan’s apron." I saw it again and again. It was driving me crazy – who was Morgan? Where was this tutorial?
Finally I saw a comment on a picture by the mysterious Morgan herself and I was able to find her blog. Okay, Nancy Drew I’m not but I was rather pleased with myself. She has a really cute crafty/cooking type blog too.
Morgan Moore’s awesome ruffled apron tutorial!
I was trying to be less coordinated with my fabrics so it has a more organic, kind of recycled look to it but I have a hard time just throwing fabrics together. This is a great project for using up the ends of yardage. The ruffled strips are 6 1/2" x 33" – how many times have you just tossed the last bit of fabric thinking you couldn’t possibly use if for anything.
I’m hoping to finish this by the weekend. Stay tuned…
It’s the mysterious Morgan coming out of the woodwork! HA! Love the combo- can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Good luck!

I love the colors and patterns you have chosen to go together. CAn’t wait to see the finished product. :>)
It came from Wisteria in Aptos, but who knows where they get all their stuff… Wonderful fabrics!!!
your fabric choices are awesome! i just loved the tutorial, thanks for posting it! remember, pictures when you’re finished with it!
Now that is really cute! I want to make one too. Must find Morgan’s pattern. The apron I got for Sara was one I picked up at Wisteria.
I did not know Sarah was your niece. My goodness what a talented family you have. I can only imagine what Christmas is like !!!! Clarice
Oh, I love the fabrics you chose! Can’t wait to see it finished.
I think when I lose 20 lbs, that might be added to the Mythical Project List…it is so darn cute 🙂
I’m so making one of these. Maybe 2 for my daughter and I. Thanks once again for finding the most dreamy finds.
Thanks for linking my ruffly post! I can so relate to ruffle longing! I’m looking forward to seeing your ruffly creation!
I saw the picture of your apron and thought, oh how adorable. Then I clicked on your link to rosehip and thought I MUST HAVE ONE. THEN, I scrolled down and saw your link to a tutorial. You’re amazing.
