I (love) wear aprons also. I've made quite a few for myself, family & friends. As mentioned in this post, if it's thinner fabric, either line it with muslin or make it reversible. Denim or heavier fabric doesn't need to be lined. I made a "retro" church lady apron out an old tablecloth from the 50's that I inherited from my Mom. It had some stains on it but I just couldn't throw it away. Used the good unstained parts and voila - Mom helps me in the kitchen now.
) Also made one for my DD from her Dad's old work shirt from the only salvagable part - the back. LOL I have several patterns, but my go-to is just a plain one that I traced from an apron I got at Salvation Army.
There's a ton of free patterns on-line, just a few:

Oh, did I mention that I love aprons? I'll let someone else get a word in edgewise now.....
