CUSTOMIZED 50s SMOCK APRON: Choose your own fabrics to make a comfortable, all-day apron that is perfect for YOU! If you don't already know what fabrics you want, Laurie can send you details about where to choose your fabrics (should you need a little help) immediately following your order-- just MESSAGE me to request help! The apron can be made using coordinating "quilting cotton" or with solid-colored Kona Cottons (all-black example in the last photo.) The retro 50s Smock Apron is based loosely on a vintage 1950s apron pattern that was in my great-grandmother's collection-- altered to fit modern size ranges. Customize your apron by choosing to add pockets-- or not! This charming style of apron is so easy to wear! Made to gently slip over your head and then tie at the waist. Wide straps go over the shoulders and attach to the apron in the back at the waistline. (Shoulder straps are shaped and joined together across the upper part of the back, which is why it is sometimes called an "H back" style of apron.) The apron rests totally on the shoulders, placing no strain on the neck. A completely comfortable style for all-day wear! Curved lower edges of the front panel and sides add interesting scallop detail. This is a larger style apron-- loose fitting but still shapely. Flattering shaping is accomplished by adding bias trim on every seam line. Very pretty style to wear. Makes a great gift for the cooking/baking enthusiast on your gift list-- or for a very special treat for yourself! Great care and attention are paid when I make these aprons-- there are no exposed seams or raw edges showing on my aprons! All seams are neatly enclosed and topstitched for a sturdier and longer-lasting finished product.

●✿● OPTIONAL POCKET DETAILS ●✿●
✿ HIP Pockets (Specifically these are called "welt pockets"--like the back pockets on men's dress pants-- most of the pocket is on the inside with only a slim band of contrast fabric showing on the outside of the apron at the top of the pocket.)
✿ KANGAROO pocket (This goes across the front of the apron. The kangaroo pocket will be made using the same fabric as the body of the apron unless you specify in the "NOTE TO SELLER" box that you would like it made in the coordinating/or contrasting fabric to make the pocket stand out. )
✿ You may also choose to add BOTH types of pockets
APRON CARE
Machine wash in cold water with mild detergent. Wash dark colors separately. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat. Remove from dryer while still damp to minimize wrinkling. Press with medium-hot iron as necessary.
