Looking for retro apron patterns?

You're in the right place if you are! Sometimes it's difficult to find vintage apron patterns that are uncut or have all the pieces. With so many patterns being reproduced for the apron collector nowadays, it just makes more sense to buy or print out a new pattern.

You can choose from a variety of vintage styles: half aprons, hostess aprons, bib aprons, cobbler aprons, even retro aprons for men and children. If you have a particular style in mind, shop around to find just the right apron pattern style.

Buy them!

BeyondRoses says:

Since my attempts at sewing years ago, did not turn out well, I have to say ... buy. A favorite I have is a vintage rose splattered, ruffled bib apron with a matching oven mitt ... Love your retro and vintage apron patterns!

Make them!

I always make all the aprons and potholders... I find it easier to make them to my specifications (and my Mom has her own specs too)

It's more fun to choose a pattern and fabric.
