Farmhouse Style

Featured in the Aug–Sept 2008 “Raising Jane” issue of my magazine, our inspiration for this pinafore came from a “one-piece kitchen apron,” circa 1910. Using that same concept, we designed a one-piece kitchen apron made from a vintage tablecloth! For this pinafore, we attached pockets made from a hand-appliquéd kitchen towel.

This farmgirl-lifestyle find includes three vintage issues of Ladies' Home Journal. The issues were published in May 1942, September 1943, and October 1943. Perfect for purveyors and collectors of all things yesteryear.

All magazines are in good codition, with some noticeable wear on the binding, but binding is intact.

I donned this hat to model my Merit Badge necklace and bracelet. The hat is in excellent condition with no visible imperfections.

Hat circumference is 23 5/8 inches. Badge pictured on hat is not included.
