My apron for March is a half apron with a kitchen towel attached at the waistband. How handy is that! I'm constantly drying my hands while cooking and cleaning the dishes, and always hunting for a towel.
The measurements and instruction for the apron are found in the book, Sewing Vintage Aprons, by Denise Clason. A rusty old wagon wheel had to serve as my model.
Do you have a favorite apron memory? I'd like to hear it.

Very nice! I'm always tucking a hand towel into the waistband of an apron (when I use one).
ReplyDeleteThat is both lovely and practical! One of my grandmas always wore an apron when she was cooking a big dinner. I can see her in it so clearly. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the color in this one, Charlotte... it reminds me of one I used to see my grandmother wear at Christmas. It was a dark green like that, but it had a large red design in the fabric, too.
ReplyDeleteThat is one of my apron memories, is her wearing a festive apron around the holidays, and when she got something off the stove, she would take her apron off and use it to carry a hot pot handle with! :)
I usually have a dish towel thrown over my shoulder when I'm in the kitchen. This apron is a great idea. I really like your model!!
ReplyDeleteGosh, that towel would come in so handy. I like the design and the colors you chose for the apron.
ReplyDeleteVery nice apron for March. :)
Great photo! Perhaps this is an apron you will actually wear...I would!
ReplyDeleteLove the towel sewed into the apron! And I love the many ways aprons have been used by housewives through the years.
ReplyDeleteVery clever to add the towel to the apron itself. My fondest apron memory is of my Alabama great-grandmother who always wore an apron pinned with safety pins to her dress top. My great-grandfather always wore an apron too, but his had a strap around the neck and tied in the back! Thank you for jogging such sweet memories..... and thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such kind comments.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this one.. Reminds me of the half aprons my grandma wore.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see one of your creations I say the same thing - I love it!!! My Mom always wears an apron so they hold HAPPY memories for me.
ReplyDeleteOh! How beautiful -- and practical! I think that one is my favorite of all of the ones you've posted this year.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Charlotte, I don't have a reply button on my blog, I haven't figured out how they do that. Anyway, in answer to your question about the tags. They can be different sizes, most of mine are 4x6 or 3x5. Have a blessed day!

ReplyDeleteI love it.
ReplyDeleteMost of my aprons were made by my mother for me.
I have several that I wear in the garden with deep pockets...
Love the apron on the wagon wheel!
ReplyDeleteThis sure is a lovely apron. I recall my grandmothers always wore aprons. They were made out of flour sacks. I made an apron when I took Home Ec in high school. I like your apron and towel very much.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. I am always using a towel while I cook also. My aunt always wore an apron all day it seemed. She used the pockets to stuff just about every thing.......from eggs to vegetables from the garden!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely apron, and what a grand idea..a towel affixed to the front...I need one of these, always looking for a towel it would seem, I'm not alone.I also think the backdrop of the wagon wheel is perfect. Thank you for stopping at my place and leaving a comment. My mom wore aprons, I probably should..I'm a wee bit plump around the middle...LOL so finding them for my size...iffy. I like the look of the Apron, and it conjours up home and family...:)
