Here's an apron I recently finished for my grandmother. I dolled miss "Janie" up with vintage- like stitches and trim. Its waist tie attatches to the bodice with a button hole- an antique touch!

"Janie"

This lovely lady boasts simplicity with a touch of class. She is a v-necked, one-piece cover up with a large, sectioned front pocket, waste band and ties. She can be created in a miriad of combinations depending upon your taste or kitchen decor. If ruffles and lace are not your forte, "Janie: could be your gal!!

"Francie"
She is a half apron adorned with

various trims of your choosing

ie. velvet ribbon, ric rac,

vintage buttons, etc. To

transport mixing spoons you will

find a convenient front pocket.

Francie can be made with your

own color combinations.

"Petunia"

Pretty Petunia is a bibbed beauty with layers of ruffles sure to don its wearer with feminity. Three coordinating fabrics of your choice make up this lovely. Sample is adorned with a homemade yo-yo, however you can choose a bow, homemade or silk flower, or any other embelishment you desire. This could be adapted easily to the smaller "Petunias" in your kitchen!

"Abigail"

Abby was my inspiration- my first creation! She is a full skirted apron bedazzled with yards of coordinating ribbon and laces of your choosing. Photo shows Abby with the finishing touch of a homemade rose made from fashionable trim - compliments of my mother! Abigail costs a little more because of the extra fabric she needs, but well worth it as you welcome your guests to a decadent "amis déjeuner".

From the time I was very young, I always remember seeing my mother in her apron. It has always, to me, been a simple reminder of the good days at home. Whether to bake fresh snickerdoodle cookies or hosting a family get- together; teaching a child to paint or just a tastely displayed token of good fashion; aprons are an ingredient to any home.
