OfflineJeannieB tickled my memory and I searched around for this thread! Maybe I should have posted my apron pics here! Still, this thread has a lot of info for anyone else to have their interest tweaked too!
I actually paid for my pattern, it was very inexpensive though and was actually a downloaded set of instructions with the outline of the negative parts that were cut out of a square of material. I'm a little inhibited about going patternless! I guess I'm a bit of a coward that way! I got it from the fabritopia.com site a while ago, and just now got around to making it after Suzanne's posts reminded me that I had everything to do it with!!!

OfflineWell, I don't remember exactly what I said, but I do remember the gist of it!
I said that the thread discussing Ruby's aprons was making me have a yen to make an apron.
For me, this is dangerous!
In 7th grade I was in Home Ec. (They wouldn't let me take woodworking/metal shop… I was a girl!) Mrs. Macy didn't quite know how to deal with me. Sewing, along with following hairsetting diagrams, makeup, and canning was one of the arcane female skills I'd never gotten, as Mom died when I was 3.
For most of the semester, Mrs. Macy came in on weekends and I labored over the patch pocket, gathered apron that was the sewing project for that class. For weeks I'd sew it, she'd take it apart, and I'd do it again.
I was very proud of that apron when it was finished, although I hardly ever wore it. It sat in the drawer at my father's house where I was raised and disappeared shortly after he married the last time. I think my stepmother threw it out. I was at college. But I really have no idea what happened to that apron.
And, I have NEVER attempted to make an apron since that summer where it took me 8 or 9 weeks to do what others did in a week or two.
And here you go, giving me the itch to make an apron.
Dangerous, like I said!
