Retro Tuesday on Wednesay with the pattern...
Yes, well... I'm late.
Things got a bit crazy after the dust storm (here).
I couldn't sleep tonight and there is some huge storm brewing (which has knocked out Direct TV) so I'm catching up on Retro Tuesday although I guess it's pretty much Wednesday so...
I love vintage aprons and bought a few at estate sales. I really do need to wear them - I always fear 'ruining' them but they are for wearing, right?
Found an article this morning in an August 1953 Woman's Day about aprons and realized it was a 'get a jump' on your Christmas present making type article. Fun! Normally these have a mail-away for the patterns but this article had patterns in the back of the magazine so I scanned them all and made small clickable images for anyone who sews!
The patterns are never there so I had to use it for retro Tuesday, I mean Wednesday. Vintage apron patterns from the 50's go for tons of bucks on eBay and I thought, why not just scan it and people can print it? Plus everyone who just likes the apron thing....can look at the aprons.
I wish sewed... I'm just an apron viewer...

They are adorable!
I would totally wear them. Or maybe I would be afraid of ruining them.
But I would totally want them.
And here are the directions! Just click!
Don't know if anyone wants to do retro tuesday on wednesday but...

One-Yard Aprons are surprisingly easy. I know for a fact you could do those!
These are totally back in style now-they're EVERYWHERE. But, i guess you knew that. :)
my mom makes us homemade aprons all the time i love them!
Lady Jane - Well, technically perhaps but that would involve first a sewing machine and second another hobby which OMG - I do not need! And Im really not precise. Following patterns just drives me nuts.
mamaface - LOL, I love them and they are really popular, yes!
lynette! Thats totally cool!
I used to make aprons in school and had to wear them in Home EC class too. I loved how cute mine was.
I have some cute ones now. I should let the kids wear them before they outgrow them!
fantastic! i looooove aprons. almost [almost] wants to make me learn to sew...
All the rage! I want one! I've never owned an apron and if anyone should be covering themselves up in the kitchen, that would be me! I would need the chin to knee version! lol
Although I've never worn an apron at home I remember the good old days when everyone wore them. These are really cool, I may have to make some. Thanks for sharing
Those are lovely! I think I should have an appropriately British themed one for the kitchen!
I hope the storm wasn't too bad where you are. It was pretty bad here today!
