Vintage Linen Apron Complete!




I've just finished my vintage linen apron for my swap partner. It turned out so cute!

I used a vintage embroidered tablecloth for the skirt, some vintage bits of embroidered pillowcases for the waist and ties and some reproduction barkcloth in a decorator weight for the sexy halter top. I wanted to make sure it was cute and functional. I hope she loves it!

  8. This lovely apron arrived in my mail today! I was pretty excited to have the cool barkcloth-- I love those kinds of atomic prints.

    I also was lucky to get some extra vintage pieces with the apron, so those will find their way into something creative as well!
