driving apron
This message is from: "Ursula & Brian Jensen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I got a little chuckle from Lisa's post. Lisa, tell the seamstress that the robe she made you is gorgeous, truly, it is, but yes, it was too short. According to regulation, it should be worn over the jacket and when sitting on the box, reach the top of your well shined shoes. The reason I know this is because, I lost a first class placing in a Turnout class at Spruce Meadows because my apron was too short. The judge was from Florida and after the class was announced and I got 2nd she came and told me. I guess it was all she could think of that made the difference...g. And yes, Lisa, I did notice in Winona and chuckled to myself. :) uj Ursula and Brian Jensen Box 1032 Lumby, B.C.

This message is from: "Karen McCarthy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Amy, I will try to dig a pattern out of an ancient Driving West issue I think I still have floating around. My mom ia a dandy seamstress and shes made 3 from this pattern. For warmth/durability/aesthetics AND tradition, I strongly urge you to use a wool fabric. The worsted wools & "pant" weight gabardines are really neat. Take what you have as far as matching colours goes with you to the fabric store, and head for the remenant section first - you can find some really neato stuff in there and its not gonna break the bank. ( I have access to a cool mill end fabric store here in my town, and it's a goldmine!) Another good thing about the lighter wools is that you can do a pattern ( like houndstooth plaid) on one side, and a solid colour on the other side,(making sure the colours have something in common), really pushing the envelope of apron umph! The pattern I have is adjustable, and it has a little button and loop that you sit on, to keep your lap robe/apron neatly around your legs. You can either make ties, or I like to fake it and use velcro, for overlapping tabs that are behind. If you really want to "do it up" embroider your initials or ranch brand in the lower ( R or L ???) hand corner of the lap robe.( Think mine is on the right...) Anyway, I'll start searching...

Driving Apron?
This message is from: Evers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Would anyone have a pattern for a driving apron that I could borrow? Or perhaps tell me where I might find one. Also, what is the prefered fabric for aprons? We had a great crowd in the fjord chat last night! Amy
