Vintage Sassy Pat

Before the Sassy One was a knitting blogger, she was a weaver. Daughter #3 (yours truly) wore this sweet apron for picture day in the first grade: it was the advent of the Little House on the Prairie TV show era. Underneath was a navy blue calico dress with puffed sleeves (thanks Anne with an E) and the tiniest lace trim, also sewn by the Sassy One, if you're playing along at home for trivia points.

In recent years, the apron lives at my house and my girls have worn it for a school field trip to the Old Schoolhouse, sort of like a living history museum for a few days a year. They encourage everybody to dress up and bring a picnic snack. I packed raisins in a canning jar. She didn't eat them. She did come home asking for a wooden hula-hoop for Christmas. It does the historical hearts of Mom and Nana proud.
