Oh yeah alot of people still wear them as for me NOPE only because i ruin my clothes all the time at work so it really doesn't matter to me. But one thing i did notice is that looks like a HUGE log cabin block with a pocket.

I still wear the full aprons, cause I am verrry messy. Have been thinking about making a few for Xmas gifts for the girls in the family. Have a pattern for one w/fat qtrs.

OH my gosh ! flames and the dinner done is a Hoot !! Great idea !

I have made several of these cute 4-Corner aprons - quick for gifts. They are really very flattering and cute on. I taught a kid's sewing class using the children's size pattern, and the kids did great - we left off the pocket to save time and fabric. It would be cute for kids or grandkids to have aprons that match Mom/Grandma.

At the 2007 Sew Expo in Puyallup, WA, every fabric vendor featured aprons, aprons, aprons. I think it's a fun revival of an old tradition. Some of my favorites are a French Flea Market apron http://www.mkquiltdesigns.com/fleamarketapron.html (three-tiered ruffles) and Indygo Junction aprons, especially "Bon Appetit"

I wear an apron every single day. I remember my grandmother wearing them. I have them hanging on the shutters that are between our kitchen/living room. About six of them!! I use regular cotton to make them. I do not iron them ever!! The wrinkles fall out of them as they hang. My husband made fun of me one Saturday - I'd been baking/cleaning/cooking and needed to go to the store... washed up, put on shoes, combed hair, gathered purse/phone and was going out the door - he called me back and suggested I take off my apron!! :) I did. I have made several for gifts. I love to make them and wear them.

Those looks really cute.. I am thinking about making a couple for myself and the kids for baking :) Thanks for the link

Well, here I am answering my own post.

I bought the pattern and made 2 so far. They are cute and easy, although they seem big on my 5'4" frame, but okay on my daughter's 5'6" frame (she is the model.) Love those NASCAR pj pants! LOL

There are so many possibilities with this pattern! I have to make it much smaller for my Grandmother. She is under 5' now and looked like a child in these!

Wendy that are cute, and you look so cute with them on. I think I will make a couple.Thanks

Thanks, but that is my daughter, Alisia, modeling them. She wouldn't be caught dead behind a sewing machine! Hopefully that grandchild she is carrying will want to do stuff with Nana and Papa (me and Bryan) so that they are handy with either crafts or mechanical stuff.
