1: Cute aprons - frustrating book!
I fell in love with so many of these aprons that I had to purchase it, along with fabric to make them. I tried my favorite first, the Josephine and was constantly taking out seams and reworking the instructions to make better sense. The steps that there were pictures of really didn't need the photo, and other steps really should have had photos.
I'm disappointed to find that the patterns and cutting instructions don't match what is in the photograph. Especially with the psychedelic squares.
Really, only purchase this book if you are an experienced sewer who is capable of figuring things out on your own. The written instructions are not as helpful as they could be. Oh, and like another review, I found that I had lots of wasted fabric in the end. Fine with me, I do like to use up my scraps later, but at $9 per yard, it's pretty spendy to waste fabric like that.

2: Awesome book for apron ideas!
Great book for basic and creative apron styles. I am so glad that I purchased this book!!!

3: Beautiful Aprons, Confusing Instructions
The aprons are so beautiful, I wanted to jump right in and make almost every one!
Getting the patterns enlarged was not too difficult. Simply photocopy the pattern page and take it to a copy center and ask them to enlarge it 400%. My local (national chain) office supply store copy center charges about $3 per large copy and did several in less than 10 minutes.
If I'd never made any of the aprons, the book would rate 5 stars. But I've now made several of them and have found glaring mistakes in each set of instructions. If you are an experienced sewist, you will be able to "work around" the mistakes, but novice sewists should beware and go slowly.
Overall, a worthwhile purchase for apron lovers.

4: Love this book!!
I own a few apron books but this one is the BEST. Many of the aprons are simply beautiful and the book is colorful and beautifully done.

5: Vintage Aprons
I haven't seen this book yet, but I'm buying it! I recently saw some aprons made from old tableclothes that were sooooo cute. I have a bunch of my mothers colorful tableclothes from the 1940's. I'm going to use the patterns in this book to make aprons for my neices. Enjoy!
