All About Aprons

From the simple but striking coverall aprons of the early 20th century to the frilly and often frivolous hostess aprons of the post-WWII years, the variety of styles found for this basic item is amazing. Many collectors particularly love apron patterns from the 40s and 50s, which typically include cheery decorations ranging from simple applied trims and ruffles to bold appliques to cross stitched and embroidered designs at all skill levels. We're pleased to offer the following original patterns.
