How to Sew an Apron: A Selection of Aprons for Work and Play - A Dressmaker's Guide - Paperback

by Valentine C. Florence (Author)

"How to Sew an Apron" is a classic guide to making a variety of traditional women's aprons, with chapters on hat making. Written at a time when women would commonly wear aprons for housework and cooking, this volume will appeal to those with an interest in hand crafting vintage clothing and needlework in general. Contents include: "Dressmaking and Tailoring", "Aprons", "Simple Aprons", "Apron Frocks", "Play Aprons", "An Apron", and "Aprons Three". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on dressmaking and tailoring.
