Above is the website.

Be sure to visit the website. The woman...who drafts the patterns...is brilliant! I am looking forward to starting some of these aprons!! She has lots of photos on her site of dresses and other goodies as well as sewing tutorials for her patterns.

I love the A-line structure of this apron with the large pockets and the back of the apron is wonderful!!

I also just found out yesterday that one of my daughter's is going to be Dolly Madison at school and needs a costume in a few weeks.....so.......more sewing after Kim's handfasting dress is done!! And it almost is!!!!

Hi Sheri,
Sewing is the only way I can cope right now. My head has been spinning. Sorry I haven't been at the writing group, but my heart is still breaking and I can find little solace. Thanks for stopping by. I'm really swamped at the moment, but should be a little more open next week.

i love this patterna nd it was really fun to make. This is the apron I traded with nancy Jo, and also made one for the Cass County Fair last year. Got a blue ribbon!

I'll be sending you some patterns. When is her Dolly gig?

auntgeorge said...

Tasha that is so good to know!! I have been wanting this one for a long time. A blue ribbon? Cool deal!! Do you still have that apron? Would love to see it.

Oooo Kim that would be great! Her gig is June 12. I found a scruptious pale peach colored cotton to do her dolly dress in. Got it at the Wal-Mart for $1 per yard, so of course I bought the whole bolt and will do the edwardian apron from it too with peach colored embroidery on it!!

Gotta run....sewing tonight!

I still use it and love it. I made Nancy Jo's with longer ties. I like it better with longer ties and when I make the next one, it will have them as well. I think it looks a little prettier.
