So I have completed another vintage inspired apron, this time going back to the 1950s theme. And, also, this time I decided to do some matching bits for the table, this way you can have a themed dinner party! Tablewares to match your apron!
The apron is in black and white gingham, with the waistband and pockets in one of my favourite fabrics, strawberries and polka dots! On the strap a red heart shaped button mounted on a black button decorates where the strap meets the apron. The pockets have a lovely curve to them and have a black binding on the top edge.
The mats are reversable, gingham one side, strawberries the other and bound in black binding. They're quilted, so are lovely and soft, but will also protect the table from heat, and also washable.
I also added in some strawberry napkin rings, but I think I will make these reversable too, so you can mix and match with the mats.
Well I'm feeling ready to throw a dinner party now! You can check out the whole vintage inspired range on facebook, here.

Another Vintage Inspired Apron creation
So here's my third apron in my new range of vintage aprons... it's been a little while, as I've been away, absorbed by a very good friend's wedding and with house hunting.
This time I stuck with the 1940s look, as I really liked the last one : ) This one is in yellow with white polka dots and blue gingham, with a gorgeous binding on the pocket in white with lemons printed on it. Again there is a little rossette where the strap meets the bib part of the apron.
I know I feel fancy when I wear one of these in the kitchen - who says you can't look glamourous whilst cooking : )
Keep your eyes pealed for more vintage inspired products coming soon : )
