Still Hanging
March 14th, 2009. Filed under: Sewing on Saturday.By the apron strings, that is. I’m going to share with you some of the apron patterns that I’ve found. There’s a wide variety out there.
The Vintage Apron Bonnet pattern is one of the most versatile. You can see some good photos of it at Sun Bonnet Sue.
Tipnut has a list of 52 free apron patterns. You should be able to find just about any style that you would like on that list.
About.com also has a nice list of apron patterns. You can find some at Made By Amanda as well.
I really like the list at my half of the brain. There’s a picture with each pattern to give you a better idea of what you can expect with your finished project. I have some quilt blocks that my mother made, and I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with them. This site solved that dilemma for me. I still haven’t made that apron yet, so I’ll be making a couple of the quilt block bib aprons. If you read Tied to My Strings, you know that I need more than one or two.
If you prefer to work from purchased patterns, McCall’s has 12 apron patterns. If you go here, you will find a very long listing of pattern companies where you can research for more apron patterns.
There are websites devoted to aprons. One of these is Tie One On. She has links to free patterns, including a crocheted apron. There’s a good apron post at the Angry Chicken.
I’m looking forward to wrapping some of these apron strings around me. How about you? Do you wear aprons? Do you have an apron site that you can share with the rest of us?
