Date: 5/14/08 7:15 PM I'm not sure if these are self-drafted or not, but I love the style, especially the one with the large ric-rack trim. I actually bought one but don't have the talent to copy it and would love to make a different colored-one for a friend and myself. Any suggestions??? I've looked at about 50 websites and the big 4 pattern books, but to no avail. Thanks!! ... arline

Date: 5/14/08 7:34 PM Try searching for 'cobbler apron', that's what this style is called. That might help you find the right pattern. ------ Cidell

Date: 5/14/08 7:47 PM Oh yes, that's better!! It IS close, but I don't have the talent/knowhow to draft those princess seams going down the front. They look like straight lines in the pic, but they ARE actually princess style seams with a curve. Any other places to look?? TIA ... arline |

Date: 5/14/08 7:49 PM Thank you "Stitch" - but I'm not talented enough to draft those two front princess seams. The back IS quite right, though!! |

Date: 5/14/08 7:52 PM Arline, I will do some cruising a bit later on. I have gone through multiple apron sites myself. If I find anything, I will post it for you.
