This won't be like my normal posts.  Since Sew4Home has really great instructions and pictures, I think it best to refer you there for construction details. A girlfriend has a birthday this month and I wanted to make meaningful gifts for her.  The first one was a robe and because I know she loves to garden, I made her garden apron. This apron should take 1 hour to make, maximum 2 hours however it took me at least double that because of mistakes and waxing the fabric.
