OMG! Saturday was our "Go Play' day..... and we did!
We went to the little community 'Swap Meet' in Oakhurst and I scored some fun stuff, then we hopped over to a Vtg. Store going out of business sale, that we had heard about from a friend...
OMG! I scored 27 vtg. patterns including an apron one from the early 1940's, and all for $10.00
Then we scooted on down the mountain to the Tarantula Festival in our community and met up with some of our friends....
What a great day

Those apron patterns from the '40's are super cute!! What a lucky find. They would be sweet sewn up with vintage looking fabric. I think Moda has a line of old fashioned prints.

oh, and I am toying with using this vtg. apron pattern to make a Christmas apron for a apron swap that I am in....
These old patterns are so different compared to todays pre-printed patterns... back then, the patterns were pre-cut out and had pre-punched holes as 'markers'...
I think I will re-copy the pattern onto plain newsprint so I can re-use it...
before I use the original tissue pattern, I dry iron it smooth and then trace it onto plain (un-printed) news print... that way I don't ruin the vtg. pattern.
