This is a PAPER sewing pattern for a charming full-length apron from 1916.
The pattern features pockets and a unique shoulder-button closing. All edges are quickly and easily finished with binding or a turned hem.
This exact pattern was a full-page feature in the April 1916 McCall's Magazine and we have included a copy of the article with the pattern.
Please note that this apron is meant to protect long skirts from messes and it measures approximately 50 inches long from the neckline to hem.

These patterns were marketed originally in the 1910s to both experienced seamstresses and professionals alike and assume that you have a solid understanding of clothing construction. The original pattern only included very basic instructions in English. To sew this garment, you should have a basic understanding of how pattern pieces should fit together.
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Advanced Couturière.
May include little-to-no instructions, no facings, no buttonhole markings, no hand-holding of any kind etc. If you like a challenge, if your friends refer to you as the sewing God/ Goddess, if you are made of thread, needles, and ferocity, this pattern is for you.
Please note that we are unable to provide any sewing help with advanced level patterns. You will get a clean, working, beautiful pattern but please don't expect help with sewing questions on these. There simply aren't enough hours in the day for us to provide that service to everyone.
By purchasing this pattern, you are agreeing that you have accepted the challenge of an advanced-level sewing pattern. As such, we kindly request that you refrain from sending us messages or feedback suggesting that this pattern is "too hard". We all need to challenge ourselves and learn new skills, and this pattern may very well teach you something new!
