Apron Patterns & Book

In a sweeter and gentler time aprons were the symbol of good motherhood. I remember holidays when the family would get together and cook with my mother and grandmother wearing their calico aprons covering their best dresses telling stories of how it was in the depression when they used every scrap of material leftover from sewing projects, old clothes to be referbished and the "infamous" cotton flour and feed sacks used during the depression my thrify grandmother to make underwear from for herself and my mom. My dear mother hated scratchy cotton fabric for years because of that reason. Funny how prejudices are formed.
We have added to our offerings and hope you find something useful. Make them for yourself, make them as gifts, make them as church bazaar items.
