Great patterns, easy to sew, looks professional
There are the 2 full apron styles (the one on either side are the same) and 3 half apron styles (on back cover). I'm not a novice sewer, but I wouldn't call myself an expert either. The patterns are all nice looking and the directions, if read thoroughly first, are easy to follow. There are different sizes you can make (S, M, L, XL, & XXL) for the full aprons and at first I wasn't able to decipher between the sizes, but then I found the size chart down in the corner in the directions. Although the patterns are easy to make and the directions in my opinion are easy enough to follow, the aprons come out looking quite professional. I've gotten nothing but wonderful compliments from everyone who has seen mine, including requests that I make them ones. I was even able to alter the half apron to a smaller size to make my daughter matching aprons. The one complaint is the chest coverage seems a bit minimal, it fits great though, but in looking into other apron styles, including ones you can buy at stores, a lot of aprons seem to have the same chest cut, and when you think about, you spill/splash food down your front, not the side of your chest, while cooking, so it fulfills its purpose perfectly.

These are great!!
These are great!!! I especially like the neckline of the green one in the middle. A friend of mine has made several of these and they fit really well--even for those of us that are well endowed.

Patterns of all aprons are on both sides of paper. Did not like having to trace them onto fabric.
Made a gift for a friend.
