I was at the local library the other day and thought I'd check if there were any books on aprons and found a delight!
The Apron Book, Making, Wearing,and Sharing a Bit of Cloth and Comfort. by Ellynanne Geisel.
I was looking for patterns and found them along with history, beautiful illustrations, household hints, recipes and many "every apron tells a story" sections.

But you can be happy if you've a mind to. All you've gotta do in knuckle down, buckle down and do it, do it, do it!" |

I have/read both (I collect books and fabrics). I've made some of the aprons from her patterns. Dianne
