Oh your aprons are adorable and I could eat every bite of food on your website! Thanks so much for sharing your interests and inspirations with us all. Very lovely indeed.

Trish said...

Hi! The smock apron that you show, do you know where I can get that pattern? I looked on The List, but I didn't find it, sadly. Perhaps you know a way to find it? Thanks so much!

Neil and Courtney Anne said...

I'm in the same boat as Trish! I love that yellow apron and would love to make one (or twenty!) and just can't find the pattern anywhere. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks so much!

Unknown said...

Hi, Thanks for all the wonderful apron patterns, I would love to make the one with the bow shown on the main page(the ones shown in orange, yellow, purple and navy/red). Is this pattern available anywhere?

Karen said...

I'm with Nicola--the very first apron picture for this post is the kind of apron I would love to make, but I can't find the pattern among the links provided. Are you able to help? Thank you in advance!

mommypie said...

I found the smock apron! It's not available as a pattern, but sold here: http://www.stitchthrutime.com/1940_apron.html. There are more aprons there than you can shake a stick at! Here's a place to buy patterns that look similar: http://www.greenleafpub.com/rrd-patterns.html or http://www.hintofhistory.com/2009/03/1940s-e-pattern-collection.html. Good luck!

triumphantfailure said...

Do you have any idea where the pattern is for the 4 aprons in the picture, black/red, pink, orange, and yellow?

Marisa said...

For the instructions for how to make those cute aprons at the top of the screen here is the web site. There is no pattern but there is a step by step video. Good Luck I can't wait to try this! http://www.instructables.com/id/Super-cute-Apron/

do you have a pattern for the apron at the top of the page? The one with the strips and spots?

Teresa Beth Brower Timms said...

I love the yellow smock apron, but I can't find the pattern on the 50 Free Apron Patterns. #1 is titled Smock Apron, but doesn't match your picture. Thanks

Laura said...

Hi there, I love the striped apron in the first picture but can't find the free pattern for it. Am I missing it somewhere or where can I find it.
Thanks
Laura

I just found your blog and like so many others, I wonder if anyone ever found a pattern for the yellow gingham smock pattern? I checked the links in the other comments but http://www.stitchthrutime.com/1940_apron.html link only sells the aprons already made, not the pattern from what I could tell. I am so happy to find your blog I am going to add your blog to my blog list.

Nell said...

I can't get any of the links to open. Any suggestions?

kayakgal said...

I am looking for the pattern for the striped aprons that are pictured also. Has anyone found the pattern for it? I did see the video, just wanting written instructions. So cute.

Unknown said...

I just found this website and love the striped apron. Also will be having the baked chicken for supper tonight. <3
