Oh Look.......
At this cute old apron I found
while treasure hunting on Saturday.
while treasure hunting on Saturday.
Notice the soft pleats?Sew flattering to wear.
And the print!
Red & White with Chickens
The fabric measures 36" across, selvage to selvage.
How long as it been since they made cotton 36" wide?
The selvages were left on and used for the sides of the apron.
They were not turned under.

Notice the ties? 
A white piece of fabric was added.
To replace the original fabric?
How did the button holes work?
And the white pocket
on the inside of the apron.
Maybe for her egg money?
I thought this simple apron would be easy to duplicate.
So here is my version.
It uses the same trim and waistband technique as the
Apron in an Hour by Jona Giammalva.
Tied with a bow in front
or a knot.
I prefer the knot, so I can slip my
flour sack dish towel over the waistband.
I wrote my first tutorial ever for the apron and will post it this weekend.
There are a million pictures to help make the instructions clear.
I just need a few more days to "fine tune" things.
The apron give away for next week is this pink beauty.

Well, first, congratulations to Tonja!
ReplyDeleteSecond, those buttonholes...I'm thinking: is the sash long enough to tie in the back and then come around the front to tie again? Could it be possible you'd thread the sash through those buttonholes to keep it neatly aligned at the waist? (This is assuming two buttonholes on each side.)
My other thought...a place to weave in a handkerchief for easy access?
I love aprons. I am trying to branch out and look for new ones. I may even try your tutorial! Thanks for offering this pretty one for a giveaway!
