It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything new. But when I was asked to do a collaboration with Sofiona Designs’ Poppy Apron and Raspberry Creeks kitchen towels, I figured it was a good time to show off some pretty pictures of both.
First, Poppy Apron – there are two views to choose from, a one piece apron and a pieced one. Then there are options for a cell phone pocket (or two) on the pieced apron with trim or not, an optional towel loop, and of course your choice of straps (cross back or halter). Both styles are fully adjustable with D rings or sliders. If you’ve ever sewn a Sofiona pattern, you know that they pay attention to all the little details. This pattern is no exception and the professional touches, including the clean looking back side, make this an exceptional apron pattern! Sizing goes from child size XXS through adult size XL. Check it out while it’s on release sale through February 14, 2024.
The first apron is the one piece with towel loop. The fabric is a lightweight canvas that I thought perfect for this project. See how the belt loops let the ties slide through to gather the waist at the sides? I love that little feature!
Raspberry Creek Fabrics has an extraordinary amount of towels to choose from. It wasn’t easy to narrow it down! My apron fabric was already chosen, so I was looking for coordinating towels so they wouldn’t clash. There are so many fun panel towels, but I picked all-over prints for hanging on the apron towel loop. And of course, the ones I chose were so different in color and style, that I had to sew a second apron to match. Here are the towel features from the website:
-16×25 inches
-100% Polyester Microfiber
-Fast Drying
-Highly Absorbent
-Machine Washable
The package arrived quickly and the quality of the towels are beyond my expectations. The colors are vibrant, the prints are beautiful, and they are soft and velvety to the touch. There are so so many prints and panels to choose from! Or you can choose the same towels I have here for the deer and forest and here for the cherries.
For my second apron, I made the pieced version with all the options. The way it’s put together is genius with all finished seams on the inside. I went with a winter theme on this one, going so far as to add hand embroidery to the front. The cute little stick trees are included in the Warm Winter Collection and I think they go quite nicely with the forest animals towel. Oh, and a great big thank you to Jamie at Crooked Gate Cafe for allowing me to borrow the kitchen for pictures of my second apron! They serve home grown amazing food and other locally made items. If you are ever near Leslie Arkansas, it’s definitely worth a stop to shop and enjoy a meal!
