Co-incidentally it was also the assignment from May's In Stitches sew-along. If you own the book and haven't come across this Flickr group yet, I urge you to go over and take a look. Each month a project from the book is nominated and a winner chosen from the pictures submitted. Having won the April prize, I am a big fan of the format!
But seriously, it's a great place for beginner sewers like me to pick up hints on completing the projects, and a chance to see how the choice of fabric influences the outcome. Because, for me, at the end of the day it's all about the fabric.

What a fun apron....makes me feel like cooking up a storm in the kitchen!
That fabric just had "apron" written all over it! Beautiful :)
It's lovely!
That is just perfect apron fabric. You are becoming quite the seamstress.... It looks fantastic.
Oh Ali, that looks fabulous! I loved that pattern, it was so detailed even I couldn't wreck it.
Oh I want one! You have such a knack with fabrics. And taking a photo with the pepper? Inspired! Right, logging onto Amazon right this minute!!

Brilliant fabric - how could you not make an apron with it? You must be feeling a little better - must be all the vitamin C in those peppers!
What a lovely print... the apron looks wonderful!
so fun and summery!
I'm not sure I could live with that fabric as a curtain, but it's so perfect for an apron. Great action shot too!
Everywhere I turn people are making great aprons! Have yet to make one myself - but it can only be a matter of time!
love the apron -- especially the cute little pocket1
that is a cool apron!
umm your summer hat? Have you seen the weather outside? Are you responsible? It doesn't usually rain like this until I've bought some summer clothes and a pair of sunglasses!
Ah - it really is all about the fabric! Your bell pepper looks lovely and delicious. The apron is nice, too. I could hear the apron screaming, "Apron! I want to be an apron." the minute I saw it. :o)
This is lovely. Makes me think of summer and lots of food fresh from the earth. Beautiful!

That turned out so well!!
Brilliant fabric. Thanks for the link to the flickr group - I am going over there to look around.
I've yet to get into flickr - not sure I understand it yet - I'm a slow learner!
Love the apron and like the sound of the "sew along" you mention so I guess I'm going to have to learn!

What lovely fabric!
Fantastic job on your apron - it just inspires you to peel veggies, doesn't it? :-)
