Making a 1940's Vintage Holiday Apron

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!! For all of my Christmas baking I decided it would be fun to make a 1940's inspired vintage apron, and oh my goodness I am so happy with how it turned out!
In this vlog I show you how I picked by fabric and pattern, and then how I cut out, stitched, and made this apron at home.
Do you have a favorite Holiday Recipe? I would love to hear about it! Let's all all share our favorite recipes in the comment section! We can make our own recipe book!
I'll go first. Here is the recipe that my family always makes for Christmas and eats on Christmas Morning every year... (except for the Great Pumpkin Bread incident of 2019 from which I have not recovered)… But anyhow, without further ado, the recipe:
Great-Great-Aunt Marie's (Yes, I am named after her) Pumpkin Bread:
3 1/2 Cups white sugar
3 Cups mashed pumpkin
1 Cup Wesson Oil
2 Cups Nuts or Raisons
Mix the above ingredients together
5 Cups shifted flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. salt
4 tsp baking soda
Sift together above ingredients and add to 1st mixture
Line three loaf pans with wax paper (or seven small pans)
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 70 min for large pans or for 50 min if using small pans
Remove wax paper before the bread is cool
Enjoy!
I would not have made this cute apron if Annabelle of Horizen Cosplay had not suggested it. So go check out Annablle's channel here: / horizencosplay

"It seemed difficult so I decided not to do the pocket." I've never related to a sentence more in my sewing journey! 🤣🤣🤣 Most of my dresses have no pockets for this exact reason lol

[@patbowman6723]

I love your last name. Merry Christmas.

[@ravensbow]

@@patbowman6723 aww same to you! Its a good last name lol

[@HistoricalBelle]

Hahaha Thank you!!! I try to keep my sewing vlogs relatable.

[@aperfecttouch]

This apron is so completely festive and fun!! And now I need cinnamon rolls!

[@HistoricalBelle]

Thank you so much! I do highly recommend cinnamon rolls!

[@honoraweaver788]

I love making aprons in Christmas fabric for gifts. I really just love making aprons in any fabric. Lol. Yours turned out cute.

[@HistoricalBelle]

Thank you! 😊 I'm sure the lucky recipients of your aprons will appreciate your lovely gifts!

[@patbowman6723]

That is the cutest apron I've ever seen. The fit is perfect as usual and the pattern on the fabric is just so homey and warm. I love it. My great grandmother used to make all the ladies in the family and one little girl (me) a new apron every Christmas season and this would fit right in. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@HistoricalBelle]

Thank you so much! 😊That is such as sweet tradition! Thank you for sharing that precious memory. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[@olgaremesow5212]

I want that fabric with ginger bred men and candy canes! So cute! 😍 Your apron is lovely, thanks for sharing!

[@HistoricalBelle]

Thanks so much! 😊 And oh yes that is really fun fabric!

[@Emmsley14]

[@HistoricalBelle]

Thank you so much!!!

[@hanatelige]

So cute!

[@HistoricalBelle]

Thank you!!

[@emilyjoy6051]

That is such a beautiful apron!! I am hoping to follow this pattern as one of my first vintage sewing projects but as I'm such a beginner I was wondering how wide the eyelet trim was that you used? Thanks for such a wonderful video as I already know it will be so helpful to follow ❤

[@HistoricalBelle]

Thank you so much!! I think the eyelet trim I used was about 2 inches wide. Good luck! You can do it!

[@sherrylovegood]

Would have putting buttons, where the straps attach at the back, help so your hairstyle is not disturbed? I love your apron. It’s gorgeous! Merry Christmas from Australia 🇦🇺🎄🎄🎄

[@HistoricalBelle]

Thank you!!! Buttons probably would have helped save the hairdo, but then I would have had to figure out how to do buttons behind my back haha. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

[@zzzzipy12]

Wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
