Vintage Visage present a sewing pattern for a 1940s style wartime wrapover utility apron, or pinny as they were sometimes called in the UK. This apron would have been made from scraps of left over material- you can see the stripes in the skirt area- as fabric was severely rationed at the time and the women needed to use every bit of fabric to its fullest. Wrapover aprons were also used at the time to protect the clothing underneath- clothing was rationed to and so everything needed to last not only as long as possible- but also as long as possible between washes.....
Obviously as we are giving this pattern through Kindle, we do not provide you with actual paper pieces- what we do provide you with is a very simple diagram with measurements and hints and tips on how to cut the very simple shapes yourself. At Vintage Visage we want you to enjoy your patterns to the full and so also offer an email back up service if required. This pattern is very popular with 1940s reenacters, as a costume for 1940s events or stage and screen dramas, and also made up in pretty modern fabrics it can be worn very like a dress today- we show you some lovely versions in the pattern.....
