The aprons that follow are from patterns from the 40's & 50's. These patterns were from an eBay seller who had scanned a 1950's booklet about patterns and was selling pdf versions of them.
This is made from polka dot poly cotton with contrasting striped poly cotton. I modified the pattern to have a rounded collar .
The pockets have little buttons on them in the shape of strawberries.
I used the stripe fabric for the ties as well.
This one is made with the original square collar. I trimmed it with orange ribbon. The fabric is cotton printed with tropical flowers.
A back view, you can see the points at the back of the collar.
I wanted to make colourful and original aprons, unlike anything in the shops, I hope I've succeeded.
