In search of apron curvets
Hi, I'm new to this group. I am in search of many apron curvets to purchase. I've been looking on line and did find a place on Etsy to purchase one for about $22. I'm hoping to find source to purchase many curvettes for a lesser price. I've tried many sights, but have had no luck so far.
Wondering if anyone knows a website or other place I may acquire apron curvettes??
Thank you,
M Scott

Okay, had to look that one up! It's been a thousand years since I have heard of/see such a thing. As I'm way more woman now than I was at that time, it'll be a thousand more before I would likely be familiar with them again, too!

The only ones I found online are vintage. I think your best bet would be to find someone who would 3D print them. Here are some websites that have information about 3D printing services (which should get cheaper over time):

What is it?

Like Jan, it's been a thousand years since I've seen one of these. Any that are vintage, I'd think would be too brittle to use. This was a plastic open "circle" that would sort of clip around the waist. The apron could be constructed as a straight piece of fabric and then gathered onto the curvet. It was certainly easier to iron and the put in a drawer than the ones already gathered onto a waistband. This was in the years when every piece of laundry was ironed!

they are also called apron hoops, I used one in my very first sewing project.
could you make a nice sized square buttonhole, and use real belts? the center button hole is where you would close the belt after sliding it through the waistband.
Or a self sash of the apron fabric meeting at the front buttonhole and tying? or is that reinventing the wheel
this thread will probably get moved to the "looking for/need" thread
