I then copied it and made several for friends as Christmas gifts.

It does make reading your blog seem so personal. It is such a fun connection.

These would be great to collect.<br />Thanks for sharing!<br />AlisonAlison @ The Polohousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04158070644111719007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-74611014936406625292011-08-19T07:44:08.550-07:002011-08-19T07:44:08.550-07:00I have made an apron; in HomeEc class.

I should always wear one, because I'm a messy cook, but I hardly ever think of it.<br />Love the rickrack pattern on that apron. I've never seen it done like that before. I have a couple of tablecloths of gingham with cross stitching. One made by my Great Aunt. I've done a little too, but I never really enjoyed the cross stitching like my aunts and cousins did.Lisa D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14777395903446188971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-92040997047801988192011-08-19T06:49:17.958-07:002011-08-19T06:49:17.958-07:00that should read apron!that should read apron!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01116754640548787788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-23814895131726352272011-08-19T06:48:42.818-07:002011-08-19T06:48:42.818-07:00I learned to sew by making a green and white apron...I learned to sew by making a green and white aprong similar to the one in your photo, and yes I did chicken scratch on it! what memories you have brought back, it was my first 4-H project over 40 yrs ago! I think that this was a first project for many a sewer in our county. My mom was my sewing leader and I learned many sewing 'tricks' from her that when I did sew made it much easier to put in zippers and sleeves. thanks for the memories!

It was made, I believe, by my husband's mother. I rarely wear aprons, but, do own a few. I made 2 aprons for the young daughters of a good friend, by using 1+1/2 kitchen towels for each, and a couple yards of 1 inch wide grosgrain ribbon. I cut one towel in half, for the bib part, then used the second sideways, for the skirt,using the ribbon to fasten them together and make ties, all at once. A second shorter piece of ribbon made the loop for around the neck, and I was finished. I think it took less than 1 hour to make both of them. I would do them again in a heartbeat.Adelenoreply@blogger.com
