Aprons
You either love them or you don't, it seems.
I happen to love them, as did my Grandmothers before me. There is just something about an apron that says to me at least; there is going to be something cooking on the stove and this house is going to be cleaned....Housekeeping another thing we either love or hate....
My Grandmother (Grandma) Cora always made simple aprons as did her mother Great Grandma Maggie, before her. I have taken one of her aprons for a pattern and have made and sold them for years.
I did make a slight change in some of these and added some rings to adjust the neck edge.
I hope you enjoy the aprons and fabric in this post.
For a sewer, fabric is like candy in a candy store such a treat....
Sweet Grandmama Cora and her apron

I found you at the Cowgirl Up link party. I love your aprons and that you got the pattern from one of your grandmother's aprons. You are carrying on the traditions. That's so important. I especially love the lavender one with the little flowers. It reminds me of one someone wore when I was little, must be my mom. Sweet memories. Hope you'll stop by and visit at my place sometime!
ReplyDeleteCute Aprons! Love the Ric Rac! Found you from Country Homemaker Hop. This is what I would love to see on "Farm Fresh Friday"! Hope you'll stop by and give it a look see? By the way, I love Lucy and Ethel too!!

ReplyDeleteLove them all. I wear an apron every time I cook. Hugs and thank you for joining in the hop fun. xo
ReplyDeleteDolly, your aprons are so lovely. Like a princess uniform. Your Grandma Cora and my Grandma Pearl would have been best chums I bet. They both lived in their pinnies.
