old apron pattern

Does anyone have or know where I can get a pattern for an apron that was popular in the 40's and 50's. I saw an apron in an antique store and should have bought it for the pattern. It was cut out all in one piece--it was a full apron with straps--the straps were then sewn to the back. Not fancy, just practical.

Thanks, Donna and BEI Design, I have bookmarked the sites. I have some vintage fabric that I think would work really well.

may have seen her if you watch Sewing With Nancy on TV. Her stuff isalways easy to follow. I know 2 of the aprons, at least, are based onvintage aprons. So one of those might work for you. HTH!!

Mary Mulari's Church Ladies Apron and her Favorite Reversible(Butcher-type) are the types we wore in the 40s-50s, except we did not make any reversible. Either we hemmed them with a narrow shirttail hem or used bias tape around the edges. DM always hemmed the ones she made, but sometimes I used bias tape and that was long before there was a special foot for it. I don't have any patterns left for them, we probably just used an old one as a pattern. I do have several half-apron patterns for those years, most of them Advance, which were sold at J.C. Penney's.

You could always look around eBay and the internet to find one, buy it, then take it apart.

Or just measure it. Aprons aren't hard to copy. The apron I bought at a garage sale and its copy are both still in service. (The apron I bought appears to have been a copy of a butcher apron.)

One of my DDs bought a butcher type of apron at Michael's several years ago and had each of her 3 DCs paint something on it for me for my birthday. She says she has seen the same ones at Michael's and TSWLTH. It is a natural color canvas and mine is especially one of a kind. Last year, I showed it them and of course, they have no recollection of painting it. It was so much fun watching their faces as they examined their handiwork. Emily

Is this similar to a butchers apron? I wasn't around in the 40's/50's so I am probably way off base, but I thought I would post it......
