I’m participating in the Summer Fun Apron Swap hosted by A Feathered Nest. I decided this was the perfect excuse to make some more gathering aprons. These are perfect for the girls when they gather eggs from the chickens. No more stretched out shirt bottoms! The apron is also handy for gathering veggies from the garden.
It starts out functioning as most ordinary aprons do.
By stringing the ribbon ends through buttonholes on the bottom of the apron a giant “pocket” is created.
Yes, I know it looks big and puffy, maybe a little bit funny, but dang! if it isn’t one handy little apron!
I’m so glad that The Cottage at Frog Creek wrote a tutorial for making these so I wouldn’t have too.
Oh. My. Goodness. I must make one of these!! I don’t have any eggs to gather and my veggies aren’t in yet. Can I gather M&Ms in mine??
hehe…I’m going to dream of gathering M&M’s in a darling apron like yours! 🙂
I really love the apron and wish I had chickens so that I could gather eggs in it. My daughters would love this, so maybe I’ll dust off the old sewing machine…
such a cute apron!!!
That is awesome! My daughter has been making wooden baskets to gather veggies from the garden. I think I will make my 9 year old craftsman one of these as a surprise. She will love it!

These look like just what I need. We don’t have chickens but I can see these being perfect for gathering Legos, toy cars, pencils and pens, and all sorts of little things on the floor. And they also would be the perfect replacement for easter baskets.
I wonder, if I used dinosaur and space ship prints, if I could get my boys to wear these. I’m sure I could. =)
Seeewww cute! I love the colors and different patterns!
That is really cute:)
I love that–I’ve bookmarked it for using later!
I love the fabric! And it’s so practical.
Well, I don’t have any chickens or eggs to gather, but that is a genius idea. How clever. And I love the fabrics!
Thanks for sharing such a useful and beautiful apron. It makes me want to time travel and have a little farm on the Prarie. Emily
I love the fabric you used!
do you know the name of the prints?

I have no idea what fabric line it is from. i usually don;t pay that much attention when I shop. I just buy what I like. 😀
That is such a neat idea for an apron!! I don’t actually have an apron and while I don’t actually need to collect eggs or veggies (I’d look very strange down the supermarket wouldn’t I!?) it would be lovely to make my own apron!
What a lovely apron and a really good idea. How do you find the weight around your waist? I would think a bib apron with over the shoulder ties would help support the weight in the apron. What do you think?

Hello, I just found your blog form The Lazy Organizer. This apron is genius! Thanks for sharing, I love it!
That apron is sooooo ugly!
