Vintage Women's full apron hand embroidered cream blue rose flowers vintage linens trim shabby chic vintage style embroidered roses

Sorry, this item has sold.

This apron is made using hand embroidered vintage linens. A beautiful cream and blue placemat is accompanied by its three matching napkins. The embroidery is hand done with beautiful blue and dusky rose embroidered flowers and blue edge stitching. Most of these linens had very minor flaws that I was able to cover with my placement and stitching. The extra long waist ties are a dusky rose grosgrain ribbon. This same ribbon is used for the neck ties. The waist band made from a vintage pillowcase edge is trimmed with blue and rose vintage embroidered trim.

All vintage linens are carefully washed and stains gently removed. No fully intact unblemished vintage linens were harmed in making these aprons.

Vintage style patterns are often used in repurposing the linens.

Some of my thoughts behind my new apron line, Vintage linen rebirth into vintage aprons. Often I need to fussy cut the embroidery to avoid a few stains and holes in the original linens. When possible, I line my aprons with soft muslin. The majority of the materials used are repurposed from the vintage linen. This style or repurposing existing materials is typical of 1940's wartime scrap aprons.

In the 1940s wartime UK everything was rationed and therefore in short supply. Everyone had to be thrifty and inventive of how to preserve things they had, and also recycle everything to make new things.
Make do and mend were the buzz words of the era, and upcycling and recycling were things everyone did to try and make ends meet.
Aprons were very popular at this time not only could they be made from recycled scraps of material but they also performed a function in that they kept your clothes clean, which meant that your clothes lasted longer.

With that spirit in mind, I am hunting for beautifully embellished linens to give a new life as a vintage style apron. In this quest I will pledge to not harm any vintage linen that is unblemished. I will honor the vintage linen and when it has given its full life in its current form, I will pass on its heritage in the form of an apron to be again cherished and loved.

So beautiful and delicate. Makes me feel like I’m wearing a piece of the past. Reminds me so much of my Grandma. I’m very happy to have it!
