Hubby and I did a little junktiquing the other day and Lookie what I found,,,
A crochet apron,, this makes my 3rd crochet apron in my collection.
It’s hard to see the tiny stitches but I am in awe of the person who did all this work.
It even has a little pocket. (I tucked a wee lavender sachet in the pocket.
So it got me to thinking, what was my 1st apron…
Here is my story.. my beloved Oma, had an apron made from strips of trim.. yards and yards and yards! ( it’s well over 75 years old)
I so loved it that when she passed away, my mother kept the apron for years and just before I got married , mom gave the apron to me and it stayed in my Hope chest.
I never wore it for cooking , it was more of a decorative apron to be worn with a Dirndl dress.
So, what is your apron story?
To make this fun and interesting, I gathered up 2 yards of fabric and a apron pattern.
I will keep this post active for 2 weeks, enough time for everyone who would like, to share their 1st or favorite apron story.
After the 2 weeks I will put all participants names in my hubby’s baseball cap and let him draw a name… and I will announce the winner and get the fabric and pattern into the mail.
It’s that easy… I look forward to reading your story.
Remember July 9th is the last day to share your story.

Love your apron and choice of fabric, Heather.
I have a lot lot lot of apron patterns - but the one you pictured is a new one to me. I have several books of aprons, several MJF apron patterns, and numerous old Simplicity and other brands of patterns.

Finally had some time in the house!!!!
It's a bit big on me. I should have made a smaller size, but it'll work just fine :)
Here it is all finished:
Here's a closer look at the fabric:
And here's the pattern:
Thank you again, Grace!

Michele.. I have the duplicate to the Pattern I sent you..
I have actually made 2 of them,, but.. I choose to hand stitch them, much easier than fidgeting on the sewing machine...
I probably should have mentioned that in my note.. LOL!

Those Simplicity mini apron patterns are hard to make. When we had the mini apron swaps, most of us just free-handed it and made them ourselves. I have the 2 store-bought mini apron patterns, but I never did use them. LOL!
I have a LOT of those swapped mini aprons - for most holidays and seasons. LOL! I know Grace does, too!

Wellll…..I downloaded Mary Jane’s apron pattern, took it to a printer, had it enlarged to size, bought fabric…..5 years ago!!
Still waiting on the courage to begin, that’s the way I roll.
