For your summer barbecue season we have another novelty apron. The theme is consistent with other McCall novelty aprons we've seen - there is always a dog in there somewhere! (See also McCall 2062 and McCall 957) This pattern shows up regularly for sale on eBay, so it may have been popular, or it may have been recommended for school or other sewing class use.
This is a perfectly good basic apron with nice deep pockets. The bias binding while cheery, also strengthens the apron and will give the beginning maker some good experience in working with binding.
The maker cut out all the pattern pieces but decided not to tangle with the little upper pocket and just shoved it back in the envelope.
A close examination of the illustration reveals that this pocket is for your pack of cigarettes.
Although the pattern was used, the transfers were not. (What? You don't want to spend time embroidering silly dogs on your apron? Why ever not?)

So wonderful to see a post from you again!
Thank you Lynn! There are not enough hours for me to put together as many posts as I'd like. I estimate my collection is good for another 70-100 posts. Someday.
Love, comedy, and a bit with a dog -- that's been funny since Shakespeare!
