I loosely used the instructions for the first apron in the book, but had my own design in mind. The side with the solid pieces of fabric with the ribbon and button embellishment is what I always had in mind and is the side I like the best. I wasn't very thoughtful in designing the reverse side, which ended up as a crazy quilt idea. The buttons were used with pieces of ribbon behind as "flowers" to cover places that didn't sew together very nicely. As the back piece didn't cover as much space as the first side, I added the pink border. After sewing the 2 sides together, I sewed the green ribbon around the edges, then added the waist band and ties.
