About This Item

Schiffer Publishing, 2001. Paperback. New. New tightly bound softcover in printed wraps. 4to. (8.5 x 0.5 x 11 inches). Cover design by Bruce Waters. Clean text free of mark for underling. Glossy color photos throughout the text. Includes an appendix, glossary and references. 160 pp.

Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. Frilly, lacy, sweet, and sexy--aprons defined a generation of happy housewives and hostesses. Today these filmy, finely home-crafted garments are sentimental favorites, evoking memories of Mom, Grandmom, or some other Doris Day-like image of domesticity, and they are highly sought-after by designers and collectors of household linens. Over 200 aprons are featured in this beautiful book, accompanied by detail shots that highlight design elements, stitching, and embellishments. Separate sections are devoted to gingham, floral designs, rickrack, handkerchief aprons, plaids and stripes, and polka dots. Aprons with embroidery, crochet, tatting, lace, and cross-stitching are examined in detail, and a collection of vintage apron patterns is included.
