Vintage 1940s Wartime Utility Apron made from Scraps Sewing Pattern

This is a digital sewing pattern for a very practical utility era apron made from odds and ends and scraps of fabric dating from the wartime make do and mend 1940s when everything was in short supply. This pattern was originally a chart/diagram to help you cut out the very simple shaped paper pattern pieces- however, we have updated this to give you a digital file which has full size pattern pieces which can be downloaded and then printed out on A4/letter size sheets and then taped together. This would be lovely made with vintage print fabrics, or pretty ginghams in different colours....once you have made it once and understand the process you should also be able to adapt it to make matching smaller ones for kiddies in the kitchen. These make great gifts and are good items to sell too. These aprons were designed to be made and worn by 'Britains Unsung Heroes'- the army of women who stayed at home and made sure their households survived intact during the wartime rationing years
