It was a marvolous weekend! I sewed three aprons and have four more all cut out, just waiting to be sewn together.
The first apron I made was one I drafted using a vintage 1928 ad as inpriration. It has a dropped waist and flared skirt. Made in a pink rose print with pale pink binding. I am very happy with how it turned out, but I think it could use a few changes. I think the skirt is too long and the waist is a bit low.
Hopefully, one day I will have patterns for sale for this apron!
1928 advertisment that was my inspiration.
Second up, is an apron made from my
Ten American Novel Aprons book. Cira 1940. This one is for my sister. Yellow banana fabric with orange rick-rack. Very fun!
(I woulnd't be caught dead in it! But it is cute!)
I also whipped one up in black and white fabric with black rick-rack. Very elegant! Looks kinda like a maid's uniform :)
Back detail. The skirt is triangle in shape.
Aren't they cute! And just what we need, a bit of spring!
Of course I had to post this one! An apron!
Eva Dress (www.evadress.com a fabulous website selling repro patterns in multi-size) had a contest. It was a great jump start for creativeness! I made her 1929 Ladies Frock with Handkerchief Hem. I am really pleased with how it came out. I dug a length of peach silk habotai out of my stash. It wasn't the color I was picturing for this dress, so I dyed it a lovely salmony-pinky. The color came out perfect! 
Don't you LOVE the flowers! They are made from a vintage 1920s pattern in my stash.
The skirt has a handkerchief hem. Meaning that it is cut in points. You can't really tell in the pictures very well, but there are points at center front, center back and each side. The bottom of the bodice is pointed too
