Not your Momma's apron

Today, aprons are now getting the attention that they deserve.  Traditionally, it was meant to be worn in the kitchen, while preparing the family meals.  Today, it serves the same purpose, however, you don't really need to know how to cook, to wear one.  

Remember this style? This is one of my sewing patterns that I picked up at an Antique Shop. It still contains the actual pattern pieces, too!  I may have to give it a try.

Here's one that I make, and you won't need to sacrifice style the next time you're in the kitchen. This lovely apron will add just that touch of elegance to any outfit. This new style, is one that I make from a pattern. and offer it in my shop.

The apron styles have changed over the years, but I'm glad to see them back. This poem, was given to me a few years ago.  I don't know who the author is, but it's beautifully stated.

Halloween Batik Fabric

The apron pattern has been cut on this fabric.  Notice the batik print on the reverse side.....kinda goes with the rest of my Batik Themed Aprons. The flecks of gold on the front side, adds a bit of sparkle and "bling".  The black fabric will be used for the ties and will trim the bottom edge of the ruffle....although, I ran out of the black fabric.....so off to the fabric store I go.  My aprons have become a popular sell and one of them, now resides in Australia!

Christmas and Halloween Aprons in the Making

Found these very nice fabrics to use on my aprons. Just love the Romantic and Classy look on the Christmas Print.  Thanks Nina, for your suggestion!  I'll be working on them this afternoon and will post the photos later.
