tie one on – yellow and white
| April 16, 2006 | Posted by Nancy under LIFE |
Here is my apron for tie one on this month, more pictures here. I used a pattern from my Great-Grandmother that my Mom loaned me. It has three front pockets and it has a back closure at the neck. The pattern called for a button, but that seemed to hard to close by oneself, so I opted for velcro. Did they have velcro in the 50′s? Love the lemon fabric, very summery, since summer is just around the corner here in North Florida! It was in the 90′s today.
Well, we had a nice Easter Sunday and the boys enjoyed all the festivities so much they passed out at 6:30pm after terrorizing my parent’s plants. Sorry Mom! Here is a look at their baskets and a cute lambkin that I will post about tomorrow.
That apron is adorable! I’d never wear it for fear it would actually get food ON it. :-p
I know, I am scared to spill something on it too!
What a great pattern! Love the waist and rickrack. Nice job!
Nancy,
I totally want an apron like that. Are you making them for sale? Can you make them in a bigger size for round women? (o:
Love, Aunt Ruthie
I wasn’t planning on it, but I could make an exception!
Hi Nancy! I’ve looked at this apron many times now & admired it enough…that I actually hunted the pattern down on eBay so I could make good use of my sewing/embroidery machine.
