Orange and purple flowers.
Flowered teapots.
Row upon row of bias tape.
The competition is fierce, but this apron has to at least be a contender for the Best Vintage Apron ever.
Although the fabric on the other two aprons that came home with me Thursday was pretty great, too.
And since lately it seems a day without a new feedsack is like a day without sunshine,
I have not one, not two,
but three new feedsacks. This one being the pattern that's in the quilt I got in Ohio. This sack being one I wanted but didn't get. What are the chances of that? I'm feeling beyond lucky.
I would wear that apron as a dress!

Swoon. That apron is a work of art. Adore the style and the beautiful fabric.

It's funny how that happens when you find something you wanted and often it's even better than the first time around.

Oh my gosh, that apron is beautiful. I agree with Ruth and would pretend it is a dress. Certainly too pretty for wiping my hands on!
I think feedsack patterns dream of finding YOU - The Feedsack Whisperer!

Oh, that is the best apron ever! I love the rows of bias tape for embellishment. :) What a wonderful find.

Yes, I have to admit that's about the best vintage apron ever, and I've seen quite a few vintage aprons in my day!
