~PRECIOUS VINTAGE APRON POEM~
I love old aprons and considering how they've grown in popularity over the years I decided to pull some of my vintage apron patterns out from their hiding place! At the VERY LEAST I'm considering making a couple in my 'spare time' (I'm thinking positive here that I may ACTUALLY HAVE SOME before long)!
All you need to be inspired is to do a quick GOOGLE SEARCH for Vintage Aprons and you'll simply be amazed at what comes up! I was blown away at some of the designs and the lovely spin given to many aging patterns! There are some truly talented women out there...
Now...I absolutely adore this pattern! Don't you???
This one is a simple, basic pattern, but one that could be embellished to the nines with lots of chic rose fabrics that are available on the market today!
The scalloped edge on the apron on the lower right is so charming! This is one I'd really love to tackle!
Another beauty that was surely once a staple in the 1950's era home!
So wish the cover on this one wasn't torn off... Sweet Smock style apron! All the iron-on-transfers are still in their original unused condition!
This one is my favorite. Love the little red heart cutie on the upper right!
Sweet graphics, too! Hmmm....this has me thinking!
All together now...
Before I scoot I have to show you two patterns I still absolutely LOVE. The one on the left is a late 1980's pattern that I made a dress from and wore for a couple of years. The one on the right is similar, from Vogue, but a lot more detailed. I haven't decided but one of them I'm going to make to wear during a little summer get-away my Mr. AGPMan and I have planned. Either one would look darling with a sweet leather belt (gotta update the look, right?) and maybe some rocking-out
cowboy boots!
cowboy boots!
Oh my gosh! Did this CaliGirl actually say
"COWBOY BOOTS?"
(Julie Marie from Idyllhours said they are "COWGIRL BOOTS!") :):):)
Hmmm...times are a changin'!
Love to you today...
