I've been looking for a pattern for an old fashion type apron that you slide your arms into and crosses in the back. I have a friend that likes them best, but I haven't been able to find a pattern. Seems like I've been looking for a year!

This pattern is free and beautiful. I just found it yesterday to make for chistmas. Hope this helps.

Maybe this is what you are looking for.

have you tried ebay, search vintage apron patterns
