My Nan used to wear fabolus "house dresses", basically a knee length wrap apron like a modern wrap dress, sleeveless & with a tie at the waist and 2 big comfy looking pockets. It used to go over the top of her dress. Looked very glamerous even when covered in flour. I haven't seen one since, although I don't think it would look nearly so glam over jeans anyway!!

I have seen those recently in one of the cheap clothes shops, possibly peacocks? sorry, can't remember which shop!

I cannot believe the shortage of aprons on the net.

I have just ordered this pattern

Not quite what you are looking for but how OS/MSE is this apron made from 2 tea towels?

Okay, so you are cleverer than me and can make nice links instead of what I posted which was
http://www.marthastewart.com/page.jhtml?type=content&id=channel1138&catid=cat414

But is still the same page:p

I think if we are all posting the same pages over again, it shows that there are not a lot of apron patterns on the web!!;)

Not at all what was originally requested, but on my apron pattern hunt I came across this....

a handy apron that converts into a sunbonnet!!!!!

not sure its quite me, but very useful in the summer no doubt. At the moment it would be more use if it converted into a souwester or an umbrella.....

Just edited to add this, which looks simple and a lot more practical:

I already have wild ginger. Think I'm gonna adapt that 1/2 apron pattern with all the pockets and add a bib from another one.

The sunbonnet one I might make as a kitsch thank you gift for my Mum sometime - she's a redhead

All the aprons for sale seem to be us based - here must be an opening for a wahm over here?

Have a look on craftster.com there may be a tutorial somewhere. In fact I'd be surprised if there wasn't.

This is when you need your good old "Pollards" shops - they used to sell aprons, gloves and all those essential fashion items.

Hi chipps (an aside to the apron posts - sorry have nothing to contribute there :embarasse )

The easiest way to learn how to do 'nice' links is to click on quote when you see a message containing one, then study how they've done it - that's how I learnt.
