Hello all,
I vaguely remember that there was a thread about aprons; I think Juno B. made some for her daughter? Anyway, I discovered that I'm in desperate need for some new aprons and since I'm a special girl, size-wise, I think I'll need a special pattern. What I want is a long apron (maybe knee-length), of course wide enough and with a bib. What I dislike about my current aprons is that those who are wide enough form a diamond shaped gap over my bust into which a lot of material drops, especially at mealtimes, and thus protection = 0. :-( Shorter shoulder straps are part of the solution, but I feel that tucks might be so, too. The question would be: where?
I've got a couple aprons from IKEA that have a tunnel on both sides; a long drawstring goes through it and forms both strings and straps. Their biggest advantage is that they fit every size. OK, they are a bit small, but their worst downside is that the protective part moves along the drawstring so that it won't stay in place. The upside is that I can pull them as high up to my chin as necessary.
Do any of you know a pattern for an apron for a big-busted, round-bellied, tall feminine being? And I don't need ruffles and frills since I like my aprons ironed but don't like household ironing too much. ;-)
