This is an uncut calico apron which has been partly embroidered. Probably dates back to the 1940's or 50's.
Whenever I see gingham I think cross stitch and chicken scratch. But the person who made this apron had completely different ideas. It is machine stitched, and a lot of work has gone into making the strawberry part of the flower, and attaching them to the fabric. A very unusual addition to my collection.
Naughty French Maid's apron. I put this on last night just for fun when I got out of the shower, and pranced around the living room in front of Ken. He just raised his eyebrows!
This is a cute little half apron - not a child's size, but not for a large adult either!
This IS a child's apron, and one of the cutest ones I've ever seen. I'm going to ask my niece if I can photograph it on her 3 year old daughter, who will look just adorable in it!
Finally, this is obviously for the hostess when she has friends around for a card night! I've got plenty of card table cloths in my table cloth collection, but this is the first apron I've seen to match them!

What a collection of aprons, I expecially like the one for a child it is so sweet. I have always been a fan of vintage linens and such, and thought aprons were a part of that. But never did I think it would become such a world sweeping craze. I think it just shows the power of the world wide web. Keep colleting I will return to see what you have. TTFN
I love the strawberries on the gingham one.
Just love all of them and you made me smile when I read about the maids apron. What we will do for our sweeties! lol. Blessings, Kathleen
I laughed at your comment regarding the Naughty French Maid's apron! :D
And, thanks for your comments on my blog! I would love to see your beaded bag sometime!
And, with the start of the new year, I hope to make some smaller bead paintings for my Etsy shop... who knows... maybe I will finally make that peacock! :D
My favorite apron is the green gingham with applique. Very imaginative. Collecting chicken scratch is a passion of mine. I can never have enough.
