How to make an apron


I've always scoffed at apron patterns thinking they were the easiest thing to make. However if you want to get fancy it helps to have one of these around.

This is the kind of apron you wearonce while making cookies with the kids and somehow they are going to remember "moms apron" for the rest of their lives. Even if you put it away and never wear it again. It's a statement peice for sure.

I really like view A as an Alice in Wonderland costume. ooooohhh that's an awesome idea. I may end up keeping it if no one snatches it up!!

Vintage Patterns ROCK!



New for the shop are these wonderful Vintage 1970's sewing patterns. How cute is that little top/pants combination? I really love the clean lines and timeless design of these two. So much fromthe 70's was over-the-top but I love how you cold put these in a cool modern print and have it be in style. Or at least in "retro"style.
