The apron book

If you’re like me and you love to make aprons, then you’ll probably love The Apron Book: Making, Wearing, and Sharing a Bit of Cloth and Comfort by EllynAnne Geisel. This book is a great one to indulge in during a break from all those sewing projects.  It includes three simple apron patterns for a half apron, a basic bib apron and a smock apron, and plenty of ideas for varying pockets and other embellishments on your handmade aprons.  There are also beautiful pictures of vintage aprons and lots of apron anecdotes.  The next time I make an apron out of repurposed fabric as a gift, I’m tempted to include a copy of this beautiful book.
