Singer Sewing Apron Your sewing apron should be an example of your dress-ideals. It should be appropriate, well-made and attractive. While it is not necessarily needed to be large, your apron should have pockets large enough to hold some of the smaller things that are constantly being lost or misplaced—the small scissors, the spool of thread, a tape measure, a thimble. The pockets—three of them are an excellent number—should be high enough to prevent being caught on an unexpected corner or knob. The material for your sewing apronshould be heavy enough to resist the attacks of scissors and needles and pins. Percale is a good material, and unbleached muslin is really very substantial.You may add a touch of hand embroidery down in one corner of one of the pockets if you wish, or you may use hemstitching at the bottom as a touch of neat trimming. Avoid anything that is elaborate.
Did you ever stop to consider how many different kinds of aprons there were?A great, big, roomy, coverall apron for a mother when guests are expected and important things are happening in the kitchen. A wee bit of a lace apron for the person who is in charge of the tea-urn at five o'clock.A smart bungalow apron to make household duties seem pleasant, and a rather pretty apron with deep pockets for the sewing room. And, of course, sweet little aprons for the kiddies gaily colored and bound.
