I love the IDEA of sewing. I even purchased a sewing maching that was 70% off from Amazon (for my daughter). We have yet to use it though. :)

What I like most though is aprons! I LOVE aprons. My favorite are vintage patterned aprons. I really wish that women today reflected the look from the June Cleaver days. I always feel so much more like a homemaker when I wear one of my girly, feminine aprons. I would wear it all day long if my hubby didn’t think it was weird, LOL. Maybe if is gave me the desire to cook, bake and iron all day he would change his mind {wink!}

I decided to put a post together that highlighted some great sites where you can find vintage sewing patterns. If you LOVE aprons like me, I highy recommend checking out Time-Warp Wife’s Pinterest board on aprons!
