the great apron swap

My awesome friend, Paige makes beauuuuutiful aprons.  I've always wanted an apron of my very own.  The only apron in our household is M.'s, and he got it from a friend who is a flight attendant for Continental.  It's a flight attendant apron.  I wear it once in a while, but it's neither cute nor comfortable.  I toyed with making one for myself, but then I realized, I HATE making stuff for myself; sewing is only fun when I'm doing it for someone else. 

Then Paige suggested the Flirty Apron Swap!  I was so excited to get my partner assigned so I could buy a pattern and start working on it! 

Here's the finished product.  I sent it off today!
 

First, my favorite parts: the pocket

And the bodice and tie

Here's the whole thing (almost.  It was 3 am when I finished it and I couldn't fit the corners in.)

Oh, did I tell you it's reversible?  I might like side 2 even more than side 1.

I really hope my partner likes it!
