The Charm Poinsettia Apron adds a festive (if impractical!) touch when playing hostess for the holidays. This delightfully over-the-top project is designed for sheer fabrics, but can be made from any woven fabric you desire.

The apron is designed for adult-sized bodies. If you’d like to make a smaller or larger apron, just print at a smaller or larger scale.

Recommended Fabrics, Supplies, and Yardage Requirements

Fabrics & Supplies

Recommended Fabrics

For a sheer Poinsettia Apron, we recommend: silk organza.

For a non-sheer apron, we recommend: cotton sateen, broadcloth, poplin, oxford, lawn, eyelet, and shirtings. Alternatively, for a more glamorous finished garment, silk taffeta, dupioni, or shantung may also be used.

For the apron support, we recommend: heavy nylon crinoline or scratchy net tulle. You want something lightweight and structural.

For the border of each petal, we recommend: beaded tulle, net, or lace yardage. Alternatively, lengths of ribbon may be used.

How do I download, print, and use my PDF pattern?

If you have never used a PDF pattern before, this short video is full of tips: How to Use A PDF Pattern. It will show you how to choose which PDF format to use, how to print just your size(s), and how to easily assemble and cut out your pattern pieces.

We offer digital patterns in two formats: letter-sized PDFs to print at home and A0 sized PDFs to print at a copy shop. In the US, we highly recommend printing A0 files with The Plotted Pattern. Outside of the US, these printers have been recommended.
