Pretty Ditty Apron for a BFF

Apron #8 for 2011 is for my BFF's birthday. My brief for this apron was 'blue floral'.

I adore this royal blue fabric with the yellow flowers. It reminds me of the bridesmaid dresses and bouquets from BFF's wedding. The light geometric print makes it a bit funky.

The pocket gives a hint on what you'll find on the reverse side.

Now here's one time that the reverse is even worse than intended! The stripes were printed vertically but I didn't want to cut them that way, because then the butterflies would be sideways. Even knowing that my BFF hates wearing horizontal stripes, I still cut it this way. Je regrete! I was going to mix this awful print in with the two nice ones to make two semi-decent sides, but I'm glad I put all the ugly on the reverse.

The pretty geometric print and royal blue pockets attempt to save this side, but it's still dire. At least this way it's easy to choose which side to wear when cooking something messy.
