All About Aprons

I pander. Yes, I do…I “cater basely”….at times…when it comes to contests on blogs.

And when Dearest Sister offered up some of her vintage aprons, one of a pattern she dubbed ‘atomic’, I had to claim it.

Initially, my intent was to use the fabric as the apron was in need of mending.

I mend. I do! Sometimes. The Offspring will say, ‘Nooooooo!, not the black hole of the mending basket!’ Poo. What do they know? So what if they outgrew a couple of things before I got to them? They were growing FAST!

But I digress.

Claiming the material for re-purposing…then I read all the comments about how ALL the young girls are using apronage now-a-days. For pockets, for convenience, for stylin’!

Hmm. I have aprons. I have made aprons. Aprons that won ribbons. At county fairs! I might even have apron patterns…not that one would need a pattern for such. Certainly didn’t back in the day of 4-H!

So the ‘atomic apron’ has been mended. I think it is smashing. Like atoms!

Then I went looking for my aprons but didn’t find what I was looking for. My blue ribbon apron has been lost somewhere down through time. But I found this one! (from Dearest Sister)

And this one (same source).

And this, which is really a pretty functional one gifted by a really neat lady in Kentucky.

I even have a Longaberger apron. It had some stains but I photoshopped them out.

And this one. I wager not many have asphalt aprons!

I also found myself two patterns for aprons…one with a matching potholder pattern!

I might just start sewing up some aprons. You know. In my spare time.

Don't forget Dearest Sister's blogaversary giveaway.  She has 'too cool for skool' stuff, and the efforts are minimal for maximum odds.
