Day 2 of an apron a day....

Another of GGH aprons.

This is one of two aprons that use this panel for an apron. Of course, this is a full apron and the other is also just a little different style than this one. I will post the other tomorrow and you can compare them and see which style you like better. The nice thing about panels like this is that you have variety in color in the apron without a lot of hard work.

This apron is a single pocket over the head tie around the waist sort of thing.

I am pulling patterns from all of these. I do have some panel fabric of my own that I will use when making up a new one of these.

When this is all done I hope to have a similar-style copy of all the aprons. Of course not the same fabrics, especially not the ones that are plastic.They were very useful, I'm just not sure I want to sew plastic. Yesterdays will be a challenge to reproduce with the embroidery and painting, but I think they will all be fun in their own way. Some are quick and easy, like this one; some difficult, like yesterday's.

We are trying to date these; so far I think this one is 1930- 1940 because of the style of apron.

  1. I am loving these aprons - I misread yesterdays blog - thought these were all your aprons. They bring back such memories - when I was young everyone wore aprons - good old days!!
