Or not? Well it is meant as a gift for a friend, so when I chose the fabric I was thinking "masculine". But it is perfect for me also...
 I used an Ikea fabric that I had on my stash for ages...and it does fit for an apron...

The pattern is from the book "Linen, wool, cotton" of Akiko Mano, and it was super-easy to make and understand the instructions. The author suggests a linen fabric, that I am sure that fits this type of apron a lot more.
