Recreating a 1940s Apron from the Real Thing

A friend gifted me a 1940s apron (identical to a Fruit of the Loom one she has) that used to belong to her grandmother, and I liked it so much that I decided to make a pattern from it and use it to sew an apron using one of my fabric designs. Of course, I had to make a mock-up first, and that was almost cooler then the real project.
You can buy this (and lots other) fabric(s) at: www.spoonflowe...
I purchased the sewing machine foot here: www.amazon.com...

Your apron is beautiful, thank you

The green side is nice as a Christmas apron. Also, that’s an awesome vintage apron. By the way, I do the same thing with my towels that’s why I like those ties to come around the front as well especially when you do a cooking marathon, you really need a towel like that!

I recently took a cooking class and when I tied my apron strings around the front and tucked a towel in, everyone looked at me, then did the same. :)

Wish I had your pattern.

I have one from my grandmother or my MILs mother. I can't remember. I want to copy it as well in a heavier fabric than the very thin cotton it is, and very thin from use.

Hi Benita. How could I get a paper copy of your apron. Simply beautiful. I've checked every where.

@benitastory8213 4 месяца назад

I don't have access to it right now. We had to sell our house and move, and most of my studio is still in boxes. I am hoping that later this summer, I can get to them. I will keep you in mind when I find it.

@benitastory8213 Год назад

Please share it! I would love to see yours!!

Love it!

Would you be willing to make a copy of the pattern? I love vintage aprons and will pay for a paper copy. Any kind of paper, newsprint, brown paperbag, butcher paper, anything. Please direct message me!! Love this!

@benitastory8213 Год назад

Sure! Email me your mailing address - thefiberpusher@yahoo.com. It'll be brown paper as that's the only thing I have large enough.

@carolynworthington8996 Год назад

I do that with a towel too. Although I also use pockets! I’m wondering if the neck could be higher in front? Do you have the pattern available somewhere?

@benitastory8213 Год назад

Sure the neck could be higher if you made it higher. I thought about adding a pocket. Still thinking about it. Might have to try it. :)

Hi Benita i just watched your tutorial on the 1940s vintage apron. I just love how it tyrned out. I would love to have your pattern. Believe it or not i use the brown paper for my patterns too. Thank you for sharing.

Unfortunately I can't send it right now. We moved and my studio remains unpacked (it's been an incredibly busy year). I simply have no idea which box it might be in. If you do a search for 1940s apron pattern, you might be able to find it elsewhere.

Where did u get that space fabric that is beautiful now I want too make one ❤️❤️

@benitastory8213 3 года назад

Oh, bless your heart! I bought that at Hancock Fabrics when it was still open many, many moons ago. But, I believe fabric.com has it - www.fabric.com/buy/0660038/in-space-packed-planets-black. This looks like it to me.
