I've been sewing for longer than a lot of you have been alive. I started seriously sewing at ten and never looked back. I never tire of it there is always something new to learn.
For years now I've been interested in aprons and what they called ,when I was growing up, house dresses.I liked the idea of an article of apparel that defined a role or function. When my grandmother put on her bib apron that meant she was headed to the kitchen. A half apron with pockets meant hanging out clothes time. Many housewives had these wrap around house dresses that were worn to clean in. I couldn't wait till I was grown-up and could wear one of those wrap dresses. The closest I came was a wrap around skirt, that was in style ,when I was in high school.
Now once again aprons are popular ,there is even a magazine devoted to just aprons . The aprons I have made are new but some are made in a vintage style with with vintage fabric, some are more modern with likewise fabric.
