"Bustles, hoop skirts, and boned bodices come and go, but aprons, like table napkins, seem always necessary. Many modern-type aprons are exploited and many have much merit, but the home-loving woman likes the clean, fresh apron to put on for the ceremony of dinner getting or for the bit of special sewing. And in between, the apron is a safeguard for many kinds of household work. Therefore, practically all types are considered so that one may choose and make that which pleases her most, and vary the design or idea to suit her own special fancy."
Originally published in 1922 by the Woman's Institute of Domestic Arts & Sciences, this book is one of the best apron references, illustrating many classic and practical apron designs with clear cutting and sewing instructions.
