Featured Date: 08-03-23
Hello, it all started with making some aprons for a friend’s granddaughter who likes to bake. I used McCall’s 4745 child size view C. Then I got a request from my daughter and granddaughter and made them aprons. Simplicity R11336 view A, (no ruffle) and I changed the pockets and used the ones from McCalls 8231, view B, and fastened an adjustable neckband. The last one is Simplicity 4987 view 1. All vintage patterns I’ve had for years and fabric from my stash, as you can see, I mixed and matched to their liking. Then I got a few more requests/offers from friends but I’m not trying to start a business. I hope you like my contribution and maybe inspire someone to make some useful things/gifts and use their stash and get creative.
Thank you for the opportunity to be on “Sew and Tell”.
Regards Rita, Lakeport, CA.

These are very pretty aprons! I like the idea of mixing pattern pieces to make totally different apron designs.
