This is an apron I made from my 90 year old aunts home made pattern. I made it last year and sent it to one of her sisters.

These are some bags I made from a roll of mess that my daughter brought home from where she works. They cut this mesh to fit their machine and throw away the rest. I now have her bring home the roll and I make bags. They make great grocery bags, or beach bags. I carry my work stuff (calculator, date planner, misc stuff. I will sell them two for $5.00 if anybodies interested.
This is the same apron pattern as above just different fabric. I sold it on e-bay last year.


This is a vintage apron of my 90 year old aunts that she made back in the 40's. It's my all time favorite.



This was another one of her vintage aprons. Don't know if you can tell from the pictures, but these babies got a lot of wear. They were perfectly pressed and folded when she sent them to me. I have one other that is still in the plastic and still in the box. I will have to get it out and take a picture of it for my blog.

Finally finished

I started this apron so long ago I can't remember the date. First it took hours to un-pick this pair of Levis ( I did it at night while watching TV). The first time I put about a 8" trim around the bottom of the skirt. I didn't like it but could not decide, because it made the skirt to long. But I un-picked the trim cut it into strips and made cross straps for the back instead of a around the neck.
This is the back shot and will fit a 38" waist.
