50's apron pattern


here's the apron I made using a 1950's apron pattern I bought from an online shop over in Canada. I ordered and paid for 3 patterns but only received 2 of them. Chased them up but got no response so will not be using them again unless I have to - I've found some other sites but they are all over in America, no English ones.

I made it up in the same Laura Ashley fabric as my kitchen blind and used lots of pink bias binding - I think its my new fabourite thing. Buttons nicely at the back. Bit gapey under the arms so won't make any more until I've been on my London College of Fashion course which should help me solve such pattern dilemas.

Modelled here by Gertrude my tailors dummy next to the roman blind in the kitchen.
