Civil War Style 19th Century APRON PATTERNS Timeless Stitches TSA-535

Description

Timeless Stitches 19th  Century Apron Pattern TSA-535.  This is a new, unused pattern in the original factory fold.
From the pattern:  "Defined as "an article of dress worn over clothing to protect or adorn it."
One of the basic necessities o frontier dress, women clung to their aprons as if to denote their role as the homemaker and nurturer of the family.  The thrifty, ingenious pioneer ladies fashioned their aprons out of any type of fabric that was available, homespun, linen, cotton and even feed sacks, bleached as clear as possible, but a white apron was always kept ready "for good" when company came, or events dictated.  Aprons of many styles were made and worn, the fabric and cut of the apron dictating its' purpose.
This pattern is for several different styles of aprons, most of which were worn during the last half of the 19th century and on into the 20th century.  The length of the apron will be dependent on the desired use and era.  I have included a simp0le "pinner" style, a shaped bhib style, as well as two hem treatments:  straight haem and a ruffled hem.  A third apron style with an angular skirt back is also included.  This apron is intended to button at the lower edge of the apron, which keeps the apron close to the skirt and prevents it from flapping and generally getting in the way.  Instructions for fire ties are included, which can be added to any straight style apron.  All aprons are built on a waistband that is designed to tie in the back.
The pattern calls:  Straight Apron:  For a full length skirt:  1 1/2-2 yards of fabric for the first panel. For additional full-length panel:  add 1-11/4 yards.  Fior ruffles add: 1/2 yard per panel for 8" ruffles.  Fancy Apron:  For full length skirt:  3-4 yards fabric.  Trims as desired:  some suggestions include piping to go between the skirt edge and the ruffle, eyelet cotton lace, grosgrain ribbons or rickrack (it was known in the 19th century as wavy braid.":
