Designed by Marcea Owen, the Gathering Apron Pattern from Cotton Street Commons has so many excellent features and details! The ties go around the neckline, through casings, and tie at the waist. No more knots or bows on your neck! With the long ties, you can even tie them in the front if you prefer. There are two pockets: one for smaller items and one that is deeper and wider, specifically for gathering. The Gathering Apron Pattern has detailed instructions and a suggested list of materials.
