This book was mentioned in an article about Aprons in this months issue of "The Saturday Evening Post" I found this copy , great condition on eBay for $8.00 free shipping. It has wonderful stories, pictures and patterns. Just wanted to share.![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2023/11/IMG_20231115_142052121.jpg?v 3651772) Connie#3392 Imagine.... |

Posted - Nov 26 2023 : 6:39:21 PM I have quite an apron collection started (it will never be finished LOL!) but I don't have any apron books. Those books look wonderful! I'll have to keep my eye out for an apron book or 2.

Posted - Nov 19 2023 : 1:52:13 PM CJ, I remember seeing some of your beautiful Aprons! And the 100's of scraps you use to recycle by shipping as much as a priority box would hold! I was always too slow to get One! Connie#3392 Imagine.... |

Posted - Nov 19 2023 : 08:27:25 AM I was inspired to peruse my copy of "The Apron Book" which I enjoyed doing. As many of you know I made and sold a LOT of aprons . . . hundreds in fact. I still make a couple a month for a friend. While going through the book I came to the picture of little bottle aprons. I made several of those for a friend years ago. While they are cute as can be they are also tedious to make. CJ

Posted - Nov 15 2023 : 4:01:53 PM Thanks Y'all I'll have to look for the other Apron books on .ebay, They have quite a few used book sellers that sell for great prices in good condition with free shipping. Great article in The Saturday Evening Post. I hadn't seen an article in a long time about Aprons in a magazine other than Country Living. Connie#3392 Imagine....
