These are two more chicken scratch aprons I have made.

New Flirty Apron Swap

It's time to sign up for the next Flirty Apron Swap. The theme of this swap is 'Celebrating Independence'. Shawnee has arranged another contest with a great apron prize. If you want to join in on the fun, click on the link in my sidebar. But hurry, sign up ends May 15th.

Pattern Envy

These are patterns I would love to get my hands on.

Vintage Patterns

Here are a few of the vintage apron patterns that I am lucky enough to have acquired.

Mother/Daughter Aprons

I made these aprons for a swap called 'I made it myself in your favorite color' on Swap-Bot. The main fabric is called "Chef's Choice Check" and I found it in the home dec fabrics at Joann's. The solid red and the gold calico were from my stash as was the rick rack. I used Simplicity pattern #4692.

My First Apron Swap

This is the apron I made to send to my partner for the Flirty Apron and Accessory Swap. I used a vintage pattern, made the bib removable and added buttons on the bib front and the pockets. More pictures of this apron, posted by the recipient, can be found here. Date on post is April 19, 2008.

Treasures from my Mom

After asking my Mom what happened to the red gingham apron I remember using when I was young (the one at the far end), she found these 4 beauties. I made 2 new full aprons for her and I got to keep these treasures.

Recycle Swap

I made this apron from one of my husband's shirts for a recycle swap on swap-bot using the directions from this vintage article.

It wasn't my intention but I think this has a 'Mary Englebright' look to it.
