The center front length of the apron is 42 1/2." I know that people do grid up patterns by using the layout, and with such a simple pattern, I think you'd have good luck with this technique. And of course, you're not limited to 36" wide fabric, so you'll have less piecing of the edge.

Is there by chance anywhere I can purchase a reproduction copy of this apron? Or a tracing of the original? The style is perfect for what I'm looking for. I've searched Etsy and Ebay to no avail any advice would be greatly appreciated. :D<br /><br />~ElizabethMiss Elizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920242546570149133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7043247847121448066.post-71782707483348792842011-04-19T19:36:41.979-07:002011-04-19T19:36:41.979-07:00There is an apron "at work" in this phot...There is an apron "at work" in this photo from 1924:<br /><br />http://www.shorpy.com/node/10307<br /><br />Difficult to tell about the back of Dr. Munsell's, though.mathomhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13749148664316617082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7043247847121448066.post-12748921909734730652010-06-19T02:28:09.871-07:002010-06-19T02:28:09.871-07:00What a lovely apron!

The only draw back could be the buttons, but by having two on each strap they are probably less likely to pull out.<br /> <br />I personally use a pattern that I created that is based on the horseshoe back top without the usual waist ties, but after seeing this, I think it is back to the drafting table to create a new pattern.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7043247847121448066.post-65579673525036874602010-05-30T18:04:55.941-07:002010-05-30T18:04:55.941-07:00I like this style very much.

The nice thing about sewing for yourself is that you don't need to make a garment adjustable; it only needs to fit you! It's interesting that good designs are really persistent. Some of the apron and smock patterns have a multi-generational run. I think that's great.andrea.at.the.blue.doorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532947489421472003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7043247847121448066.post-60413566092992803852010-05-28T07:55:17.303-07:002010-05-28T07:55:17.303-07:00I love these crossed-strap, cover-everything apron...I love these crossed-strap, cover-everything aprons. No buttons or buttonholes, no tight ties, no slipping off my shoulders. My personal apron is <a href="http://vintagepatterns.wikia.com/wiki/McCall%27s_3063" rel="nofollow">McCall's 3063</a>, which is from 1971 but is similar to many of these 1910's-1920's baggy aprons. I skipped the buttons on the straps and just sewed them all together.Little Black Carhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313164876855565140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7043247847121448066.post-30772264723730187672010-05-28T04:56:42.184-07:002010-05-28T04:56:42.184-07:00This looks extremely similar to a current apron pa...This looks extremely similar to a current apron pattern by (I think Daisy Kingdom.) I call it the "mobius apron" because the crossing of the straps in the back makes the apron into a sort of mobius strip. I have made that apron up multiple times and love it, but honestly the shape of your apron pattern is infinitely more adorable.<br /><br />Once again, I leave your blog consumed with envy. ;-)Diane Shifferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03449110271720365988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7043247847121448066.post-43667693313633214942010-05-28T02:19:24.131-07:002010-05-28T02:19:24.131-07:00Oooo, I can just imagine how much fluff would coll...Oooo, I can just imagine how much fluff would collect in the bottom of those pointed pockets - however - they do look very nice!Vande Historic Costuminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916879165404283495noreply@blogger.com
