Hello Everyone,
I am searching for the pattern for this apron as shown on the cover of this book by Mary Engelbreit. I don't need the whole book, just the apron pattern. I did search for it, my Amazon (Canada) does not have it. Local libraries do not have much in the way of quilting/sewing books at all.

I hope the photo shows, when I try to preview it, it pops up then disappears....

Just the whole book comes up on my search

That's really cute. I hope you find the pattern. Have you posted on apron Facebook groups?

You might already be the person watching the Ebay auction(s)...

I know international rates and such drive up the price, but with low prices (for the book) around $6 US, I don't think that's so bad for something you want... Some books and such are just ridiculous!

Does anyone remember the "maxi" skirts in the 70s done in the petals? The super cool ones had a swirl to the pieces as well.

Interesting that shows up as seller as ThriftBooks-Reno US at $34.23 yet it shows at https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/sew-so.../item/4682742/ shows it for $6.89 or $7.79 Then there is a ThriftBooks selling on ebay for $7.01 at https://www.ebay.com/itm/374026289866

Thank you everyone for the links. Unfortunately, the shipping to Canada is astronomical....I will see if I can find a facebook group for Aprons - who knew????

Have you looked on sew4home.com website? They have lots of free downloads. Perhaps something close?? Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already tried them before I posted here. Their website has so much stuff there! I use it often.

Googling scalloped vintage apron brought up this design, could you maybe piece each of the sections to make it similar to the one you are looking for? https://www.amazon.ca/Simplicity-Mis...1&gad_source=1

Thanks for the link, and the suggestion. I think I'm going to have to draft it if I can't find the book at a used book store. I do have one place locally that might have it, just haven't been there yet....
