The Ultimate Apron
The Ultimate Apron is the apron my grandmother wore for many years. That was in the days when the average American woman had three dresses and a dozen aprons. Aprons used less material than dresses so were quicker to stitch up in quantity.
Women with good aprons were well prepared to catch all the spills and all the pea pods and all the tears of little children fleeing to mama's lap for comfort.
Aprons could serve as potholders, egg-carriers and baby-chick warmers. They shielded shy children when visitors came to the house and warmed mom and grandma in cold weather when they wrapped it around their arms.
Aprons brought chips and kindling to the stove to take away the early morning chill and dried many a perspiring brow as women bent over hot ovens. Waved from the front porch, the apron could catch the attention of the men working in the fields, to call them in for dinner.
This special one-of-a-kind apron is a must-have for busy moms today.
This is a simple pattern, all in one piece, plus two roomy pockets. It can be sewn from about 2 yards of 42 to 44 inch fabric, depending upon the length needed. There are adjustments on it for Average and Plus Sized figures. Instructions are given for trims, binding and hemming.
The pattern is hand-copied on heavy duty freezer paper and will stand up to many cuttings.
You'll want to have a fresh apron for every day of the week! Make one to go with each of your special housekeeping outfits. This apron looks as nice over blue jeans as it does over your favorite house dress.
