Earlier this week I promised a unique vintage apron pattern and here it is. It’s from Women’s Household Magazine, July 1968–nearly 40 years old! It’s something I haven’t come across before.

It’s an apron with two pockets. Or you can use it as a clothespin holder. Or you can button it up into a bonnet. I think the wide rick-rack dates the item and I’d prefer something a little more updated looking–but we’re talking about a bonnet. Not quite sure how to achieve that ‘2007′ look :). I guess that’s where personal creativity comes into play.

Here’s a picture of the pattern:

You can download the pattern as a pdf file here: Apron Bonnet Pattern

The article description:

This unique apron can be put to many uses, first of all it’s an apron. It has two large pockets which could hold your sewing or knitting while you work; could serve as a clothespin holder also. Best of all, it buttons into the cutest bonnet to shade your face while working in the garden.

If you have a blog or website and you’d like to offer the pattern to your readers, feel free to upload the pdf file and distribute. I ask though that the Tipnut.com information on the file not be changed or removed. Thanks :).
