but they have become really trendy on the net. And why shouldn´t they be? For one, they are practical, especially if you´re like me, and constantly spill food all over your clothes. Second, they can be a fashion statement, because pinnys these days come in all styles. And three - what kind of vintage housekeeper would you be without one?

So, this is what I want you to do: First, look in your linen closet, there may be one left from your mother or grandmother. Or go to the source itself - ask you mum, or (more likely to strike gold) your granny. If they threw their pinnys out in the 70s, you could 2) go out and buy one. Over at Tie one on, there´s lots of links to pinny-makers. Or if your the crafty kind, you should absolutely make one yourself. The simplest kind is just a fabric square with a waistband. Or you could go out and look for some inspiration:

What do you think, is that enough to start you off? Otherwise, just google "free apron pattern", and you´ll get lots of hits!
