It is all machine sewn, even the applique, out of a light semi sheer cotton. I love the accent of the mini ric-rac.
There is a tag on one of the ties. When I googled it quite a few aprons popped up by this company, even an apron dress with appliqued cherries!
And some other Cherry goodness from Doris Day!

Brown Striped Apron
This is one of my newest additions to the collection. I simply love the way the stripes are used! Horizontal in the center and vertical on the sides.

The construction is lovely. Double stitching, hidden pocket, ric-rac inserted in the seams.....
A view of how the apron is made of three panels.
P.S. Would you like to see a pattern for this apron? I think it is going to be an Apron of the Month!!
