Pretty Ditty Reversible Apron

I found this apron pattern while searching for a gift idea for one of my co-workers.  I'm not sure where it came from (or the other Jamie Christina apron pattern) -- perhaps an apron swap. 
For some reason, I forgot to take pictures of the apron on my dress form.
Picking the fabric was a bit of a challenge, but I knew that this baking themed fabric was going to be included.
Once I got to work and realized that I had neglected to take photos, I enlisted the aid of a live model.  Side one is a strawberry print that I just love.  Unfortunately, it's a rather stiff fabric, so a dress was out of the question.  It's perfect for this apron though.
Here's side 2.  Isn't it cute?
Now about the pattern.  It's fiddly at parts and I had to do a good deal of ripping and resewing.  The results, in the end, were worth it.  I'm planning to give this apron another try just to see if I can get through without so many re-dos.  I especially like the elastic going across the top.  So cute!  Despite heavy use of my seam ripper, I enjoyed working on this apron.  I hadn't made one in quite a while, but now I remember why I love making them.  I expect to make several more (testing out all of my apron patterns) in the future.  I think it will be a good use for some of those novelty fabrics that I just adore.
