Day 4 of an apron a day....

Anyone hosting a party? Well, this was all the rage of a store-bought hostess apron. I have never been much for the see-through aprons, but they are cute. Never made or bought one; too many weird thoughts of housewives meeting husbands at the door in this and heels and not much else. This is cute but is definitely not one of my favorites because of the fore mentioned reason. I like the pattern a lot, so I will probably make one, but it will be more Valentine's (notice heart-shaped pocket) with normal non-see-through cotton fabric.

This, of course, is a single pocket, tie around the waist hostess apron; 5 pieces (7 if you count the two ruffles) which makes this one fairly simple in structure.

The cat on the pocket is machine embroidered makes me wonder when she actually purchased this one. I wish I new the actual ages on these aprons if any one can help with that please post on the appropriate apron thanks.

I do have some cute sheer Halloween fabric who knows it may rub off on me some time in the future and I may end up with a halloween hostess apron. As Halloween can always be kitch and I would still love it. If you didn't know Halloween is my favorite holiday. Valentine's is my least favorite holiday followed by Mother's day.

We are trying to date these so far I think this one is 1950- 1960 because of the style of apron. Best bet 1950's.
