Apron pattern question

14 years ago

I know there is a sewing forum, but I don't know how active it is. I know there are a lot of sewers here, and I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find an apron pattern. I would like the kind that goes over your head and snaps at the sides. A free pattern would be best, but I don't mind buying the right one either.

You can google free apron patterns and find about 100 of them, but I don't remember seeing any with snaps. I'm sure you could adapt a pattern, though.

That's probably what I'll do. Thanks Flamingo.

I've been known to file the roosters spurs and dull them, that seems to help a little too...especially when my poor leghorn hens were getting stomped by my huge turken rooster. No wonder they ran away from him!

WANTED: Pattern for cobbler apron
Q
Comments (0)
Hi! I am usually in the quilting forum and I have been making clothes for years but started some quilting again. I am going to retire at the end of next summer and I used to have cobbler apron to wear when cooking but they are long gone. I can't seem to find any patterns for them. Don't people use them anymore? They cover so much more than a regular apron does. Can anyone share? Thanks.

Apron sink/Size of sink base question
Q
Comments (11)
First question: what kind of apron-front sink? Some are meant to sit atop a cabinet that's been cut down to recieve the sink. That'd be like the stainless steel or copper ones, and maybe some fireclay sinks with more regular rectangular shape. There's a thread on here (I think bichonlover started it) where Poorowner and I responded with pictures about our stainless apron front sink installations. Here's a picture of my sink. It's in a same-size cabinet with two dishwasher panels on either side. You could get away with not using the dw panels, but I needed them to deal with a spacing issue, and to cut down on dw noise. Some (and I'm thinking about the handmade Shaw's and other fireclay ones) are meant to go into an apron-front cabinet that's had a cutout in the blank apron front to receive the sink. Thus the cabinet has to be wide enough to hold the sink and still have some space on either side of the sink for the cutout. I think I've seen Shaw's owners with 33" sinks in a 36" cabinet, and the like.

Did someone say criss crossing apron? How timely!! I've been working on 2 of these for the past couple weeks. Just scroll down the page for all my looooooooong posts about my experience with making Simplicity 5201 back crossing, retro style apron! I posted several photos. To see the pattern, just google 'simplicity 5201' :-) francy

FlamingO -i think Susan looking for some kind of smock apron.
Just google that and it's very easy to make pattern from pictures alone. Good luck.

I, personally, would like some one to develop the backwards apron.

I guess I could put a skirt apron on backwards but people frown.

Everytine I wipe my hands off is on the pockets of my Wranglers, on the butt. I've been known to grab the back of my T-shirt to wipe my hands off.

The world is ready for a backwards apron!

Hmmm, roco, try tucking a towel in your waistband. Works like a charm, hanging right there at your side.

roco, you need a chef's apron or a chef's waist apron. They wrap entirely around you and tie in the front. I love them.

Hey, Roco! Have you seen the cute utility aprons made from an old pair of jeans? Make on of those, wear it backwards, and wear a regular apron "frontwards". People might not even notice you are wearing one at all - tee hee!
