While up to late again last night I stumbled across THIS pattern for a 1951 Apron.
Drafting it was easy. It's designed to be very economical with the fabric.
The instructions are a little vague. Bias skirt facing took me a while to work out.
I think it is just 3 inch wide bias strips. I didn't use it.
I used a lace for the hem, turned the side seams and added ric-rac as the embellishment.
The instructions don't tell you to add interfacing to the waistband but you really do need to. It helps the waistband keep it's shape and sit better when worn
The first is without the pocket. I'm not sure if i added the pocket right.
I think I may of needed to position the pocket so it wasn't flat to the fabric.
I should of traced off the position markings for the pocket.
You cut two pockets from the pattern I only added one.
I did think of using the other to line the one pocket, but didn't do it.
I don't think I'll make this again.
I prefer an apron with a bib.

I saw the post on CM early this morn and thought what's the bet she'll have this done today! LOL, Looks great!
I think its super cute Tracy, I just can't fathom how you just "whip up" all these wonderful things up.
I think you enjoy a daily new project. Looks fine but I do understand the need for some give on the pocket and not flat.
Tracy you have been a busy gal these last few days. As I opened up the comments my bub has stirred so I must go. Love your sewing as usual what an amazing amount of creative energy you have. Oh and I finally remembered your dogs name while I was driving today , out of the blue, ... SCRUFF! sorry about that scruff...
