New Pattern in the Collection

 Thanks to my brother-in-law's Mother I now have a new pattern in the collection! It is from the early 1920s, very early, like 1920 or 23. I think the name describes it very aptly, the Sack Apron. It covers everything! I guess you could almost wear it as a dress, maybe it is a predecessor of the 50s house coat?

Can't you see the lady of the house ready to give her bungelow a thorough spring cleaning? Perhaps she lives in one similar to this? Cute isn't it!

I did a bit of antiquing yesterday. I am so excited to share my newest finds with you, hopefully soon!

  1. Can you imagine doing your housework dressed like that.

    1. It is a little hard for the modern mind to comprehend! But back then it was normal, so I guess you wouldn't know. I have always wondered why fashion back then didn't think anyone lived where it was hot and now fashion thinks nobody lives where it is cold! Lol!

  2. Bungalows like that have always been among my favorite house designs. And of course I love the porch and that cute dormer!

    Enjoy your new pattern. How fun!
