This is a lovely embroidered apron, another one of my
favorites. You may notice that the carpets in the back ground are different. The first photos I took at my MIL's house, and they have blueish gray carpet; any in my house are on a cream carpet. This is an over-the-head type apron with no ties and made from three pieces of fabric. Very simple to construct. The embroidery on this one is more simple, too, but very nicely done.
We are trying to date these; so far I think this one is 1910- 1920 because of the style of apron. Probably late 1920's close to 1930; I have seen a similar pattern dated 1928.
Beautiful embroidery on this apron - I wonder why they did not put ties on - seems to me ties would help the apron fit better. It is a great apron though - absolutely wonderful collection of aprons. I wish they were mine!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this apron - the colors are so pretty. Maybe it's just my computer, but it doesn't look like it's cut on the bias to me. How fun to have all of these!
