So as I love sewing wartime items, I made these and I am finishing one more now. My nan used to wear these all the time and so do I now when I am cleaning or for my reenactment’s. They are from an original 40’s pattern and made in all cotton, look so great with my turban’s. Now I am going to make myself a 50’s summer dress. Pic’s when I am done.
Adorable! I always admire these when I see them on TV. Did you make them from a vintage one (as a pattern)?
Thanks, seeing them on TV is what got me started. It was an old pattern, I pattern hunt all the time. Love doing that.
I’ve been looking for something like that. The coverage is nice so would not need a shirt under. It is so hot here in summer that two layers just don’t work. Isn’t it hard to do all that bias binding?
The front is easy, the arms are ^^%%#@!!$ , shall I say NOT so fun… LOL
Funny! : ) Pretty much my thoughts on bias in general. Good job! And to think you made more than one!
Love these!! Great Job!
Thank you
Cute!
Love the aprons. Can you show a picture of the pattern, or the pattern #? Thanks.
My Nana wore aprons a bit like that.She called them “pinnies” and they had pockets full of clothes pegs and other useful things. I used to think that I would NEVER wear one but now they seem so useful, and I yearn for one.
I think I need to make one of these! My grandma still has one of these on her kitchen.
Ah! These are exactly what I’ve been yearning to do, too. So practical, and you’ve done them up so nicely! Could you share the pattern info with us, pretty please!
Love them. Do you sell them. Elizabeth
Can you post a pic of the back?
Hi do you sell these please
