Vintage-Inspired Apron – #14

Posted on May 1, 2011July 28, 2015 by Martha

If we had a square dancing bridal shower guest, she would probably like this apron.  Somehow I had it in my head that each ruffle should be twice as long as the previous one, so the bottom ruffle is 5 yards, and the apron is quite a bit heavier than the others.  The green floral is a new old stock vintage glazed chintz that looks brand new.  The middle ruffle and sash is a cute vintage print made to look like gold ribbons pulled through eyelet — I love that fabric.   At least the construction of this apron went a lot smoother than the last one, but I don’t think I’ll make another one with this much gathering.

Yesterday I received the vintage fabric I will use for Emily’s apron.  It’s so cute, with what looks like a bride and groom, and reminds me of a Peynet illustration.  Here’s a peek at the fabric.

    This apron reminds me of a gathered skirt that I had with three tiers. I loved the heaviness of it and it always ‘swished’ very satisfactorily!

    I just wanted to say that your aprons are *gorgeous*!!! From the front, they almost look like they could be skirts. This one is especially fun and frilly! 🙂
