Picnic time is almost over and we will be moving inside and baking and cooking more with the coming of fall.  Of course, we’ll be sewing more (and sometimes the cooking will wait!) so let’s make some aprons for all that work in the kitchen.

Virginia May Patterns by Susan Thorup began with the patterning of old aprons she has been collecting for years and emphasizes the vintage style. Here’s a few of her apron patterns…

Mother’s Feed Sack Apron is so pretty you could even use it to decorate your kitchen so make a couple of them. Use fabrics to match you kitchen decor and you’ll fit right in.

How about an apron for your little helper (or if you are really lucky, helpers).  Children’s Apron Selection has five aprons from which to choose.  They are easy to make; perhaps your little helper can even help you to make the apron – they’ll love it.

Are you wanting just one more BBQ before you give it up for winter?   This BBQ Apron is a simple pattern. You’ll be able to whip it up right quick.

And now for something completely different.  Isn’t this Hankie Quilt the cutest?!

Here’s one more selection from Virginia May Patterns.  Cathedral Window is a traditional quilt that is mostly hand sewn so this makes it a great take along quilt project.

 
Virginia May Patterns are written in a clear and easy to understand step-by-step format. Traditionally inspired quilts, aprons and home decor items as well as apparel will continue to show up in Susan Thorup’s collection of designs.
