Anyway, you can see that I incorporated Bible verses from Proverbs 31 into the apron, which is my favorite part. My sister and I had a great talk while I was taking these pictures, about women being keepers at home, and what that means.
Here is detail of the right pocket. This embroidery took me much longer than I thought it would. I had to rush to finish it in time for Christmas! Sis and I had a good discussion on what "bread of idleness" is. 
I've included this picture #1 because I like the way the straps crisscross in the back (I took this concept from an apron I've made for myself - I even shrank the adult pattern to get some help in drafting this part of the apron.), and #2 because I love my sister's smile here!

The left pocket.
Well, there you go. This project was a lot of fun, and I was pleased with the way it turned out. If I had to do it again, I would use wider bias tape, and more of it around the edges, to save on the hemming....and I would actually put the pattern on paper!

great work!
That's just lovely! I really like all the embroidery you did. Your sister look so sweet in her new apron!
How lovely and beautiful and so kind of you to make for your sister! I wish all little girls had big sisters like you. . .they all need to know what God's plan for women is, unfortunately that training is often left undone! A very charming apron!
What a creative idea for trimming your sister's apron!! I love the Bible verses on the pockets. . .
