Book Reviews of Aprons -- 21 Vintage Patterns and Styles

Book Review: Wonderful Vintage Patterns!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I love anything and everything having to do with aprons -- probably because they are so reminiscent of my childhood memories of my mother wearing an apron when making holiday dinners. I have many of the new books about aprons, but they mainly discuss the nostalgia of aprons or show collections of aprons. This book has actual patterns and sewing instructions for aprons you can make yourself. I made the "utility apron with cap" and it turned out beautifully! And I disagree with the comment left by another reviewer -- spiral bound books are absolutely ESSENTIAL for sewing books so you can follow along with the sewing instructions of the book without having to try to weight down the book to hold it open.

Summary of Aprons -- 21 Vintage Patterns and Styles

Aprons were proudly worn by generations of housewives and hostesses, and now you, too, can re-create a little of the past. Polka-dots, piping, ruffles, lace, taffeta, plaid, denim and fringe are just a few of the 21 styles detailed in this nostalgic book originally printed in 1945. Reduced size patterns (with instructions for increasing), instructions and illustrations are provided for making a utility apron and cap, mother/daughter apron, father/son barbeque apron, sateen coverall apron, plaid ruffled apron, taffeta party apron, peasant apron, apron with pot holder corners, heart apron, sewing apron, organdie apron and great instructions for using cast off clothing to make your aprons. Sample pattern images are shown on this page.
