For December's Tie One On. I copied this shape and pattern from my absolute favorite apron to wear--it was my great grandmothers, and the cut and shape is just perfectly comfortable for me (the fourth one down here). I managed to pull this one together on the morning of December 23rd--with this great fabric I've been sitting on (vintage? I don't know--has anyone seen it before? I found it at a Salvation Army fabric sale and bought the whole bolt, I loved it so much), and a serious amount of bias tape. I wore it happily for the next two days, including for the brunch we hosted on Christmas morning. And then washed it, and packed it away to be 'rediscovered' next December. (which is also why this picture will have to be 'good enough'!)
