    For a child, I really like the the green. The pink seems too mature to me. I also think the green coordinates better with the feature fabric.

    I like the fruit and bamboo together. Fruit for the top, bamboo for the crayon pockets. I like cheerful colors for kids.

    I think the pink, it picks up more of the color in the main fabric. The green has so little in it that it doesn't seem to go with it. It might if there were a third color. I do like you blue color choices for the other apron.

    I never could decide which colors to use for my granddaughter's apron so I caved and bought some Frozen fabric that I know she would like. I couldn't slight my grandson so I got him some Spiderman fabric.

    I made one out of cowboy fabric as a trial. I didn't want to cut the bought fabrics until I knew the size was right. I made some adjustments and then used the bought fabrics. I never could understand the directions on how to put on the waistband so I made up a way. I just hope that the waistband isn't too long.

    Tartan... I incorporated your rectangle pocket idea verses the tiered version in the original pattern.

    Thank you for all of your replies!
