    I think i will email them & see how much that gorgeous apron would be to post here. Thanks vintage pleasure :D

    As to the domestos apron. I got 1. managed to save 3 more tokens from the bottles & couldnt find a 4th. I was gutted lol. I wear mine all the time now & although it wasn't too comfortable to start i think it's softened up a bit now, either that or i'm just used to it :D

    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    Just been looking through the photos of your treasures, they are lovely. Does your husband have the same interest in these, or is he out numbered by all the females? ;)
    Hubby is completely outnumbered! He would love a minimalist pad somewhere to escape to.He does have the last word on what stays or goes though so don't feel sorry for him!! My home isn't quite as vintage as I would like.Some things are stored and displayed in rotation.

    They do soften up with washing, and are good quality I think, would probably be quite expensive to buy something like it; I had the pink one and the blue one, they're so pretty, would love that design in a cotton fabric ;)
    ... don't throw the string away. You always need string! :D

    Jinny you are a star :D a free pattern is even better. I'll give it a go in some cheap fabric before spending money on the oilcloth. I love the apron made from 2 teatowels too. Brilliant. I have a feeling I won't be short on aprons now lol. Lots to practice :D
