Japanese inspired linen apron

I never owned or used an apron in my entire life. They always looked too domestic and frumpy for my taste. But when I saw pictures of modern, minimal, Japanese inspired linen aprons, I was sold! It looks so chic.

I purchased the pattern on Etsy and downloaded it right away. Don't you love the PDF versions of patterns? It takes about 30 minutes to print and tape the pages together and you are ready to go. The paper is thicker, you can print different sizes and you can keep the file in your computer. Amazing.

The instructions were clear, although I also had to watch a few video tutorials on how to sew the single folded bias.

I'm looking forward to wear it in the kitchen! Bon appetit!
