One of my favorite apron patterns is the Church Ladies Apron by Mary Mulari. I love the way it turns out and how easy it is to make. It is a great everyday apron because it is reversible.
I am not fond of aprons that you have to slip over your head, so I made this one to bring around the neck and fasten on one shoulder.
Several years ago my mother-in -law moved and when she did she sent me some of her old buttons that she had from years back.
One of my favorites was this big red one from the 40's and since there was only one, I thought it would be the perfect button for my new apron.

Love the apron Rae Ann.. It is really lovely. Great that it's reversible too.
Great apron! That button is the perfect finishing touch, love the fabric too! Glad to hear you are joining in on the fun with the star crazy quilt. I am going to make 2 of them, one in 30s and the other in brights with a dark background.
What fun aprons and to have one be reversible is a great idea.
Rae Ann, I love aprons and have made several to sell at craft shows and on my website (www.handmadebyjenn.com) This one is SO CUTE and I was wondering if the pattern was available anywhere?.... I love your fabric choices! I am making my oldest daughter an apron for her birthday in a couple of weeks because she is enjoying more time in the kitchen, baking and such and she needs her own apron!

You've been spying into my kitchen! I have thought for the last 2 days, I've got to make myself a new apron as I work in them all day and all my aprons look like they need to go in the trash! I look homeless in them!! Making a new apron needs to go immediately on my list of things to do. Thanks for sharing and inspiring me as always. Hugs
Hello Rae Ann, love the apron you have made....and your colour choice...I too have a love of buttons from the 30's...Warm Regards Lyn
Rae-Ann that is such a gorgeous wee apron. They are such a great invention are they-practical and of course no excuse not to be pretty just like your one.

I love the apron! I need to make one some time soon and it looks like I'll need to take some quilting lessons too. You are amazing. I'll be sure to check your blog tons now! Love you and thanks again for the recipes - yumm, yumm!!!
The apron is wonderful! And the button makes it extra special.
I really love how neatly you've combined two completely different fabrics, and the button of course. I wish I had half the ability to make things interesting by combining fabrics so beautifully. Love it. thanka for show us. Kitty
I found your blog threw Bee in my Bonnet. I really love your apron and the name of the pattern. when ever I cook or bake in the kitchen I am always wearing an apron. I have been wearing one sense I was about 5 when I bake my first batch of cookies at the age of 5 and it was also the first thing I had ever baked. Both my grandmothers have always wore aprons in the kitchen with they cooked, baked, canned or even just cleaned house. I am wanting to carry on the tradition in my own home and pass on some aprons to my own Grandkids boys and girls. I am also in the process of getting my material ready to make a farm apron for when I am out collecting eggs or veggies from the garden so I can make sure I have big and deep enough pockets. I am going to subscribe to your blog to see what other aprons you will make.
