Mustard yellow with grey flowers.
So, I am having a giveaway!
Yellow and red bias cut with black detail on pocket and waistband.
Go here to see more aprons, freshly ironed (but not necessarily impeccably ironed…I am kind of a slap-dash iron-er).
Pick an apron from this post (or the Flickr set ) that you would like to have. Leave a comment before Friday (5pm Pacific) and tell me which one you would enjoy winning.
I will draw a name Friday evening and send the winner their choice.
Hostess apron - sheer black with purple and white print fabric and silver rick rack. It has some breaks in the black fabric, but the purple is good.
White with evergreen and berries.
This apron is very soft and drapes really nicely. The design is painted faux embroidery, but nicely done! One thing I have learned about myself in this process is that the thing that appeals to me about aprons is the fabric. I don’t think I could cut one up, though. I have a hard enough time cutting into new fabric, purchased for a project! (If you want to cut it up and make it into something else, I have no problem with that - it's a personal issue with me, not a moral position!)
Very vintage-y!
Bright circles with bound hem and waist - '60's apron. Very bright and the fabric is like new!

And, I learned that all my aprons look good with a yellow dress!

Oh Jan. I CANNOT resist your give-away! I adore the Mexican couple on Flickr - that would be my first choice - second would be the mustard yellow with grey flowers in your post. My goodness those are all gorgeous!
I actually wear my aprons - but not for cooking! I use a headset with my cordless phone, and never have a pocket to put it in while I'm moving around the house. Aprons are great for that. The ones without pockets get their turns on display!
Very nice apronage. I like those aprons. I like the material in those aprons. However, I think those aprons...must...leave...the family...
I need the grey and yellow atomic...
The aprons must not laeve the family...I love the red with centerpoint layers!
No fair! I was going to have dibs on the atomic one!
Love the pockets! I also love the Mexican one.
Okay, I tried this before and it said I did something wrong somewhere in cyberspace...
I could do with the mustard yellow and grey apron since the fabric has a certain provencal air to it.
I tried to leave a link to a cool apron I got from my mom in the last message but it didn't work. So I am trying again so you can see it.

Here goes nothing!
Allie, I never thought of using aprons when I am wearing pants with no pockets! I might try it for my ipod!
IN- give in to the power - of vintage!
OGF -Thanks for de-lurking and playing along!
Lynne - I looked at the link and I am very impressed! I don't think I have ever known someone with a store bought apron! It is very pretty, too!
This is so fun -- I want the brown gingham cross-stitch -- I wear aprons a lot, and I like to have a little bib on the top since I am very messy -- also I really like those buttons. Second would be the atomic (love that pocket & ruffle) and third would be the mustard and gray flowers because it's such a cool print.
