Thelma and Lowell's Diary: May 4, 1943

She and Vangy sew matching aprons; popular gifts for Mom in 1943

Oh, how I love the blossoming friendship of Thelma and Vangy! Today they went downtown shopping for Mother’s Day gifts for their moms. Then they bought some cloth “and made small aprons alike during the evening.” Isn’t that adorable? The vintage pattern above is being offered for sale on the website So Vintage Patterns. The three on the left give you an idea of what a “small” apron might look like.
