Several months ago I had an order for 6 aprons. by the time
all was said and done this 1 person turned their 6 apron order
into an 18 apron order!.

I sold them for $25 EACH! all total I sold 20 aprons that weekend.

My aprons were full with adjustable neck straps (I used KAM snaps)
a good sized pocket on the upper bib part with a "pen" slot. On the
lower part of apron was large pockets with 2 pen slots in the center.

I used premium quality muslin to line the apron and pockets.

Did you make the pattern yourself or find it somewhere? I would love to make one.

I made my own pattern. I used brown craft paper to cut the basic
shape I wanted after that I taped copier paper together to get one
LARGE sheet. (2 pages wide x 4 pages tall).
Afterwards I traced the pattern I made on the taped pages, using
a Sharpie marker.

Below is the pattern I made along with two photos of one of the
aprons.

Now imagine making 20 of these aprons. PLUS I have orders for 4
more that I have not started yet.

Here is what I use. It has 3 compartment in the front. One small one for my pen. One for cash - not big bills. One that I keep business cards & notepad in. The back, has a zipper compartment where I put any big bills.

I have made a couple for my daughter and me for using at craft fairs.
Here is one link: http://www.pinterest.com/source/quil...wordpress.com/

The one I made has two rows of pockets but this is basically the same. I will try to find the link for the other one.

Found it! http://www.sugarbeecrafts.com/2011/1...-tutorial.html

Here is a picture of one I made. I changed the measurements slightly as we are larger around the hips...LOL...

(Hope the attachment shows up - it's been a while since I posted to this board so forget.)
