Scalloped Apron

This has been one of the most favorited posts of mine on Pinterest in recent months. I had neglected to ever find the original pattern so I have been getting emails from readers need it. You're in luck, I've posted it below. Here's the original story behind the apron.

On the night of April 27, 2011, I was in my sewing room. I had been asked to make a few items for a Mothers Day Banquet coming up and I started with this. I pulled together a pile of beautiful pieces of fabric and started cutting squares.

I then cut the back piece to my apron so I would know how wide and tall to sew the front.  I then started sewing the squares into strips to stretch across the apron backing.  

While I was working, a storm was brewing. I would stand at my craft room window and watch the darkening sky and the churning clouds. I think storms are so beautiful. I wondered to myself, "Why do people get so scared of storms?" They are lovely to look at. I just kept sewing and ironing...all the while. My husband had my baby boys under the stairway eating their hamburgers. I managed to sew up the entire amount needed and then, our power went out. I decided then it might be a good idea to find the weather radio. We put the kids in bed after lighting the candles. My husband and I laid in bed and listened to the weather radio. At about 10:00 p.m. there was an announcement that the town (my town) had been destroyed by a tornado. I laid and listened in disbelief. I had no idea what to expect but I never expected the severity of the destruction and the turn my life would take in coming days.

I eventually finished the apron and gave it away to a deserving mother.
Enjoy the project. The effort is so worth its beauty.
