I had a very difficult time locating vintage linens in my area and was getting worried, until one day, quite by chance, located a consignment shop for household goods and that is where I discovered a beautiful set of table and dining room linens that are hand embroidered and tatted.
I used the various panels to create a half apron for my partner, adding rows of pintucks and some buttons at the waistband for more of a hostess apron feel.
Again, thank you Shawnee. This was a wonderful idea and challenge and I thoroughly enjoyed creating this vintage hostess apron from vintage linens for my partner.
Cheers!
Jennifer, this is absolutely lovely and I can't wait to steal your idea for some other vintage things I have in my stash!
