An original 1940s Simplicity 4868 bib apron with scalloped edges and a cross-back tie — the full-coverage kitchen apron of the era, drawn in lovely period colour.
Size Medium. 15c Simplicity Printed Pattern with its tissue.
Condition & Details
- Simplicity 4868 (1940s) — misses bib apron with scalloped edges. Medium. Unprinted perforated tissue. No instruction sheet seen.
Checked from the outside only: the tissue was not unfolded and pieces were not counted. “Appears uncut” means neat factory folds; please treat every other pattern as possibly used. Instruction sheets are included unless noted.
The flaws, all of them:
- Simplicity 4868: bottom edge torn with pieces missing, left edge tears, creases and edge wear.
Why You Might Want It
- Vintage aprons are a favourite quick sew and make great gifts.
- Scalloped edges are a charming 1940s detail you rarely see today.
- Display-worthy illustration for a retro kitchen.
