time to get crafty

I really need to get started on a embroidery project I'm making as a wedding gift for our friends Kristin and Chris. I won't mention what it is on the off-chance she'll find out, but I will post it after we attend the wedding!

So, for sewing. I picked up some fabric at the discount fabric store (think thrift store for fabrics) and I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to make an apron.

Here are a few ideas:

and no matter what, the waist strings will be long enough to wrap back around and tie in the front, because everyone knows aprons are so much cuter that way.

I guess I could always just buy a pattern at JoAnn's.

Here are the fabrics. I can't decide which should be the main fabric and which should be the accent. The blue is almost like the material of an oxford shirt, and the yellow and white is fairly heavy, but really pretty.

Help! I need suggestions.
