By popular request, I'm sharing details and free downloads for my version of this Molly Made special apron pattern featured on a recent Brother sponsored live stream.
Originally, this apron was published in Designs in Machine Embroidery magazine. In collaboration with Brother, the Sewing Lady design on the bib pocket, and one other design featured on the lower pocket were linked as free downloads. In addition to that, I digitized an In-the-Hoop pocket design to help you make the perfect patch pocket for the apron bib. You'll find all the details for creating the pocket HERE.
Follow along as I outline all the detials and share the links you'll need to create a similar apron for yourself.

Let's start with the Sewing Lady Redwork design I used as a decoration for the patch pocket on the bib. Follow the path outlined below to access this design from the archives of the Brother website.
Go to www.brothersews.com and click on the drop down arrow for Inspirations & Events.
Next, click on the Crafting Projects tab.
Click on the image to explore the Free pattern archives.
Fill out the form to access free downloads.
Select the Special designs tab. Click on Redwork Sewing Lady to download to your computer.
Take another look at the apron and you'll see that I used a string of redwork designs to decorate lower pocket "M" from Molly's Apron pattern. This pocket features more beautiful Brother Redwork designs! To create this pocket I cut an oversized piece of fabric and marked off lines for the pattern piece and the pocket stitching lines. I embroidered the designs, cut the pocket using the pattern piece with a modified top foldline, and finished construction of the pocket on the apron.
You'll find the pin cushion motif (second one from the left), available as yet another free design from Brother. The rest of the Redwork motifs are available for purchase in the Redwork design section of the Brother exclusive iBroidery.com design download site. Photos below show each individual design.
To access the free Brother pincushion design follow the same path as you did for the Sewing Lady but this time select from the archives of the Free Design of the Month menu shown below:
Last but not least, here is a link to instructions and free downloads for the perfect patch pocket used on the apron bib.
Click on the above image and you'll find everything you need, including an option for converting this pocket design to other machine formats. Enjoy!
