  20. 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.
