Most of my outfit posts tend to show what I wear out and about. Truth be told, many days (especially Sundays) I can be found at home, enjoying lots o' tea, and cooking or baking. Such was the case today. Lately, I've become re-obsessed with 30s aprons (esp. embroidered ones) and feedsack fabric & frocks, so I perked up my mood by puttering about the house wearing my favourite blue bird apron over a blue floral flour sack frock all afternoon (bad lighting in kitchen, I'm afraid, so pic is a bit dark). Of course, the whole day, my mind was a-whirring with plans that may or may not ever come to fruition: plans to try my hand at embroidering once again (I used to embroider with my grandmother almost every weekend as a girl) and plans to add a few feedsack aprons to my sewing project list. Sigh....so much Sunday Sweetness, so little time!

So feminine! I adore this! Makes me want to embroider.
ReplyDeleteLovely apron! The embroidery is very pretty :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty apron!
ReplyDeleteI also really love your dress, and your kitchen cupboards, and your kettle! ;-)
That apron is so cute and it looks great on you. I wish I could embroider.
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet sweet apron
ReplyDeleteOh cute! Feel free to make an extra feed sack fabric apron for me haha
ReplyDeleteAwww, how sweet & lovely---and I love your tea kettle! I'm certain I've seen a similar bird embroidery pattern floating 'round the internets. Fun!
ReplyDeleteOh what a sweet little bird the embroidery thing is! I'd love to do embroidery again, too, I used to do it when I was younger and time was endless (read: did not have my kid yet)
ReplyDeleteMilady, if you had time, you'd be a very dear guest at my blog since there's a post featuring some vintage photos from the 1930s!!! of my hometown Zagreb in Croatia. I myself was surprised with this beautiful Art Deco Architecture and such elegant ladies, you might like it.
ReplyDeleteYou look so elegant in your 'homey' outfits. I wish I was so committed, I'm usually just in my bathrobe or a pair of old jeans! x
ReplyDeleteLovely apron. I wouldn't dare cook in it (I've managed to burn and stain PVC cover-all aprons designed for blokes to wear at BBQs... I'm like the Muppets Swedish Chef when I cook- which is every day ha ha!). I'd wear it for dainty dusting though!
ReplyDeletethank you, lovelies!! I don't wear this outfit EVERY time I make (or take) tea, etc, but sometimes I get the winter blahs and when I do, this little blue bird apron cheers me up....as does my kitchen, and my little yellow kettle (a lovely present from my mister last year)!!
ReplyDeletePerdita: LOL!!
Elina: embroidery does take quite a bit of focus and time, doesn't it? It was a perfect way to force me to calm down and sit still when I was a far too energetic little girl!
I love embroidery but I haven't done it in ages. It's so relaxing. I adore your tea kettle! I just had to retire mine and I've been looking for something colorful and fun but so far, no luck. :(
ReplyDeletesuch an inspiring blog, my lady!

When I saw this post in my feed reader I thought "I have that pattern!" and then saw the source credit. haha! I have actually been itching to make a new apron from this pattern (I've made view 2, but an contemplating view 3 which offers more protection for accident-prone-me) and just haven't had the time or fabric. ;) A girl can dream though... 30s aprons are some of my favorites!
