An Assembly of Aprons

Dust off grandma's aprons and reintroduce them as new fashion accessories

by Mary Ray

(opens in new window)
An apron inspired by the 1940s and '50s is a great way to combine unique fabrics in a fun, useful way. In "An Apron Revival" (issue #132), Mary Ray shows you how to round up novelty prints and big print fabric to make a flirty skirt apron and a bistro apron. As major trends make their way full circle, these classics are the new sassy accessory of today. Here's a photo gallery of vintage and vintage-inspired aprons. Click here to view more.
