I have (and wear) several vintage / Victorian pinafore aprons. I like full long pinafore style aprons, and even have one very similar to "Matildas'" apron. My mother had us girls wear a full apron around the house, it was part of our wardrobe.

I also have a treasured photo of my youngest daughter wearing it as she made biscuits - she is quite a baker and cook. I also rescued a box of aprons that I think came from my maternal grandmother - my sister-in-law was going to yard sale them and I said, no, these are going home with me. I have not yet sorted them out and figured what to do with them but they were too special to discard!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183723445145517680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019493705058948268.post-35127498441562233732015-07-07T20:02:27.551-04:002015-07-07T20:02:27.551-04:00How very fun!

She was my 4th grade 4-H sewing leader and taught me and my friends how to sew using a very simple pattern provided by the home extension service. She made several of those over the years. Sadly, I don't have any of them.

My mother made an apron for her mother in high school Home Ec (early 1940's) and that is my most prized one. It's pink with tiny blue buds and trimmed in eyelet. I use my aprons mainly for decorating. For example, at Valentine's Day I take my red and white ones and tie them to the backs of the dining room chairs and they look like little skirts. So cute!The Victorian Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08771406484767173643noreply@blogger.com
