| Me and my mom Christmas 1962- I would of just turned 5 Wearing an apron made by my great grandmother. |
My mom kept that little apron and I got it from her a few months ago.
My sewing project last night was copying that apron and sewing one for grand daughter Elizabeth. I just folded the old apron In half and laid it in on my fabric on the fold and carefully cut around it. I also cut out ties and a pocket, just eyeballing it.
Can you see the new fabric is printed with tiny tomatoes? Elizabeth loves eating May-toes!
The edges are all covered with narrow bias tape and a little button fastens the neck.
It took me less than an hour to sew it up. I am not sure it will fit Elizabeth right now as she is just 2 1/2.
I'll just hold on to it until it does fit her. And I better sew up another one for grand daughter Andie who just turned 1.

What a treasure to still have yours! I LOVE the one you made too! So cute.
ReplyDeletelooks great! I need to find some "fun" fabric to make a couple of aprons. My oldest daughter, now 4, LOVES to help me cook. She needs a special apron just her size
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing that you still have the little apron! Love the one you made!
ReplyDeleteYou were a beautiful little girl, and the apron is adorable. How nice that your mom still had it. I love the sweet little apron that you've made for Elizabeth. I have made two different aprons for my youngest grand daughter, one when she was three and one about a year ago. I made for my grandson, too! I made it very boyish, and he loves it.
