May and June Apron of the Month- Free Pattern

Announcing 
May and June Apron of the Month!!
 Marie and Meg
I am so excited about these aprons I don't know where to start! These two cuties are "sister" aprons, if you look closely they are both the same pattern except for the shape (pointed or scalloped) and the finishing (ric-rac or bias tape). They are named after real sisters, my great-great Grandmother Marie and her sister Meg! It is always so interesting to see how siblings can be different, yet so alike.
Does one of the aprons looking familiar? I loved the Brown Striped Apron so much, I took the pattern from it!
I have three separate files for the patterns;
 Meg Apron skirt, Marie Apron skirt, and Pocket, Ties and Waistband.

Say Hello to Meg!
She is the bolder, more adventuresome one of the duo. A statement is shouted out with her dramatic points and eye catching ric-rac. But at heart she is still a pretty simple girl. The Meg Apron is so easy to put together! You can whip one up in about an hour. With three panels of the same piece, waistband and ties it is a piece of cake!


Don't you love this fabric? I total agreed with several comments that I needed to make an apron to match my kitchen curtains! (I thought I had posted about them, but apparently not, Opps!) I am now contemplating putting red ric-rac on the curtains! 


And say Hello to Marie!
Marie is a little bit more demur and ladylike with her scalloped hem and traditional contrasting binding. Just as easy to put together and just as easy to love! (It is a good thing I don't have to decide which is my favorite!) She is constructed just like her sister, a three panel skirt, waistband and ties.
Marie Apron was very much inspired by an apron my Great-great-Grandmother is wearing in a photo. It has been on my list for a long time to make. I love how it turned out, just like I imagined!
The fabric is an old vintage feed sack I have been saving, I don't even remember where it came from. But the minute I came across it in my stash I knew it had to be a Marie apron.

I hope you have a lovely summer weekend! We are suppose it get some sun, finally!



April Apron of the Month!

Were you getting worried about April Apron of the month? I was! I had grand plans for April.......but you know how life goes, it happens! Good life things, like shopping adventures with my sister, watching Spring emerge in Wisconsin, spending Easter with the family, getting house projects accomplished and a spare of the moment trip to a salvage yard with the brothers to fill a rainy Saturday.  But don't worry, my grand apron plans will just be delayed a month and they will be worth waiting for.
So that brings us to 
April Apron of the Month-
  Vintage Modern Pleated Apron!
A free pattern and tutorial by
  Kitchen Confections.
Isn't she a cutie? A bit of a departure from my usually vintage patterns I feature. I was very intrigued by the use of darts in the bib. One thing I dislike about a one piece chef style apron, not very flattering for curves. Darts in the bib and a waistband solve the problem!

 Even though this a "modern" apron, it has some wonderful vintage inspired details. Like ric-rac around the pockets and on the bib, pleats in the skirt and pockets and pockets set at an angle.
 And a little detail I added myself, a ric-rac flower!
 So cute!
This is going to be a gift for my soon to be sister-in-law, do you think she will like it?

March Apron of the Month

March Apron of the Month is here! 

 I would like to introduce you to 
Hazel. 

Hazel is a modern girl with plenty of old-fashioned roots. She features a smoothly flaring skirt with plenty of swish, a perfect backdrop for old-fashioned patchwork hexagon appliques or to show off  a beautiful fabric.
 I have to tell you, I had a completely different plan for March Apron of the Month. But I have been in the middle of a hexagon craze and just couldn't get excited about anything else. I finally stopped fighting it and just gave in!
 I love love love how the hexagons turned out. They were so quick and easy to do too! (For an easy tutorial see my post on English Paper Piecing.) The possibility are endless! Can you envision Hazel with a Dresden Plate block, a really fun retro print with big ric rac along the edge or a vintage motif embroidered!?! 

I couldn't resist including this picture. Love the bit of window and bed. But notice the lovely lines of the back view of Hazel. Love the way it curves.

February Apron of the Month


I am so so excited to be introducing to you an Apron History Pattern and 
February Apron of the Month!
the

She is a darling little waist apron based on a 1940's pattern with a scalloped hem. I think I had a bit of spring fever when I started planning this project. The minute I decided on the pattern I knew this was the fabric to use!  
Dorothy is actually made up of three fat quarters. Of course I had to do a little old fashioned make-doing to get all the pieces to fit! If you look very closely right behind the bow in the above picture, you can see where I had to piece the waistband.
Here you can clearly see there are actually three different fabrics in the apron. One for the ties and waistband, and two contrasting for the skirt.
 Tomorrow I will post pictorial  directions for making up Dorothy. I have included simple directions in the pattern too.

Enjoy! 

Introducing Apron of the Month!

I am so so excited to tell you about a new feature I am starting!! As I have mentioned before, my dream is to start offering apron patterns. So to dip my toes in so to speak, I have decided to put together one free apron pattern a month, either a pattern from around the web or a pdf pattern I have made! Now I don't want to promise every month the apron will be an Apron History Exclusive, but I am going to try to do as many as I can. My pattern list is already mostly full. I am so excited to share them with you!! I will also post sewing tutorials and tips. So with out further ado, let me introduce the 
January Apron of the Month!


It was love at first sight when I saw this apron. Isn't the fabric the cutest?! It made me want to go fabric shopping! I love the three rows of rick-rack, the nice roomy pockets and the generous ties that made a perfect bow! All the requirements of a good apron!
Miss Sew-It-All has a tutorial Here and the cutting layout is Here.

 I must confess, I was so excited to make this apron I printed the cutting layout out and dashed up to the sewing room, not realizing until later I hadn't even read through the tutorial! Ah well, in the end I figured it out. The fabric and trim are from my stash. I was determined not to go out in the horrible weather and just use what I had.
 The rick-rack is vintage from my grandma's sewing closet. I have had it forever, just waiting for the perfect project! I love the look of multiple rows of rick-rack. 

If you decide to stitch up an apron please share a link in the comments! I would love to see it!

Clothespin Apron- Free Pattern!

Today I have a free apron pattern for you! How exciting is that? I am very excited to share this with you. A Clothes-pin Apron. Isn't is cute? The pattern is from a little booklet from the 1920's. It has one big pocket with lots of room for those clothes pins.
 Finished apron

The apron is made from two squares of 18" fabric. A fat quarter is 18" x 22", so that makes it handy! And half a package of bias tape. I think it took me about 20 minutes to whip up.
 Pattern pinned, ready to cut.
Cut an 18" square for apron back and use pattern to cut apron pocket.

 Sew bias tape on edges of pocket openings.
 Pocket edges with bias tape sewn on. I took a picture because it is a little hard to describe which edges to sew. As you can see it is the ones on the sides that make the pocket opening edges.

Pin pocket and back together matching all edges. The pins are there! You just can't see them in the bright fabric. Sew bias tape to side edge continuing around bottom and up other side.

Now for the top! Cut a piece of bias tape 72" long. Mark center with pin, mark 9" on either side. Turn in 1/4" on end of bias tape and stitch edges together until you reach first mark. This is for the ties.
When you reach first mark, insert top of apron in bias tape and sew.
When you reach the end of the apron, continue sewing the bias tape, turning in 1/4" at end edge.
You're done!
Here is the pattern to download and directions. The pattern is in three pages which you will need to tape together.
I hope you have as much fun as I had! Let me know how it goes!
