"The apron shown here requires one yard of yard wide percale, if made without tie-strings. If ties are desired, allow one-eighth of a yard more. This is a very practical pattern, as the flare sides cover one well when at work."

"A pattern for this apron can be made from a kimona nightdress pattern."
See free instructions for this Kimona pattern directly below!
"This is a kimono nightdress; that means the sleeves are cut with the gown all in one, not made separately and sewed in. This name kimono is Japanese and means a loose garment. The picture shows a Pleasant Valley girl in a kimono nightdress. Miss James says there is only one piece to this pattern and the nightdress is easy to make. The way to measure for the amount of material for such a gown is to take the length from the shoulder at the side of the neck to the floor and add three inches for a hem. This gown can be cut without any shoulder seams, all in one piece. So you will need twice the length from shoulder to floor and hem. Why ? If the cloth is one yard or more wide, it will not be necessary to piece the gown; so be sure to choose material which is a yard wide.
