    I'm having a difficult time printing the template. It only wants to print B7 &6. Anyone else having this issue?

    I thought this pattern was very easy to make. Having to tape the template together was a pain, but not rocket science. I added some decorative stripes too. You can see my finished apron at www.simplejoycrafting.blogspot.com.

    Very nice apron. I made it for my dd's birthday and give it to her with a large fluted pie plat and a 'pie bird'. I only wish that a link to the gardener's apron would have been included. The search for how to make the straps took FOREVER.... but I love the pattern. Went together easy-peasy. Thanks!

    The template pieces run horizontally from A1 through A7, then B2 through B7. Pages should be oriented as a ?

    The template for this apron is approximately 10?

    The average apron requires about a yard of fabric, but that doesn?

    With the template pinned together and fabric purchased, do any pre-washing or ironing required ?

    Lay your fabric out and fold it in half lengthwise; remember to follow the grain of the fabric. Pin your template to the fabric and mark your cuts ?

    I'm posting a few pointers, but it's longer than 500 characters... so please forgive my multiple posts! I hope they're helpful :)

    Does this same pattern work for a plus sized person?

    How many yards of material does this apron require?

    Wish I had the faintest idea how the pieces of the template went together. The pattern is confusing; obvious that A's go with A's

    The pattern is confusing but simple once you get it put together. Each part prints SIDEWAYS and there are 2 "columns' (A

    I agree with SarahAnnSmith, it would be extremely helpful with dimensions.. I'm still taping mine together, but I'm confident that I'll get it. That or I'll just buy a template for an apron...
    Wish me luck!!

    The template works fine...it's in sections

    This pattern is ludicrous. There is not a single measurement, instruction and the pieces are not labeled. I am very surprised to find this on Martha's site. I DO NOT recommend trying to even view this pattern.

    loved the picture, Then I printed of the template, so sad. Very hard to read and understand. I threw it away. If there were better directions maybe someday I could wear it!

    Love the apron, but not the PDF (which wasn't available when I tried to make this when it came out in the magazine a year ago). PDF is sixteen pages, which will be hard to store once taped together. Could the editors do a diagram showing measurements: Width, length in center, length on side, length of diagonal cut... much easier than printing (and then wastefully tossing) all that paper! Thanks!

    The template for this apron wasn't available when I tried to make it in Dec. 2006. Now it is, and prints out on 16 (yep SIXTEEN) sheets of paper... just simple lines, but still. I am wondering if it would be possible for the editors just to do a single-page diagram of measurements... how wide, how long in the center, how wide across the center top, how long from hem to base of diagonal cut-away for arms, etc. That would be a whole lot simpler Thanks.

    Hi my name is eagercrafter59 I just made this fun apron. I added some cross stitch baking motifs I have collected over the years. I used material with a garden theme. I just love this apron! I have leftover material from some quilt projects so I decided to make a apron for several ladies in my family and friends. Now I want to find some stamps to match their personalities. My mind is on overdrive with ideas!
