Who among you like searsucker or seersucker fabric? I personally do. It is a crisp cotton fabric that seems to say, "Use me in anything to wear in warm weather". When I think of Spring and Summer here in the South that is always on my mind!
Today's apron is made from some of this fabulous fabric and I like it!
My old Mannequin is from a retail store I worked with.
It is a size 8 the size I was at the time.
This apron is a One Size Fits Most
It does run the sizes pretty well
The view from behind
We are really enjoying it! I don't regret having it painted in the color, as you know if you follow.

The crisp fabric and premium cotton/poly trims are as nice as can be found
The Searsucker is a premium cotton
Look at the pretty lined pocket with rick rack trim
If that doesn't say vintage pattern I don't know what would
This is a Cora 2 pattern which is an adaptation of my grandmother/great grandmother's pattern
The original pattern is well over one hundred years old!
I know they would be smiling yet humbled by me using their patterns.
I adjusted this bib to be wider for more coverage.
