This cross back apron design is functional and beautiful, as well as beginner friendly and fun to make. Consider this piece as a perfect addition to holiday baking and crafting, or to give as a holiday gift! A variety of fabrics can be used, from linen to canvas to denim. Mixing colors and patterns for pockets and trims is fun and encouraged! Participants will leave the workshop with a finished cross back apron and a pattern to take home for future making. This is an excellent beginner sewing project and would be a great class for an adult and youth to take together!
