I got it! I got it! I got it! - don't got it!

Hi fellow sewists!  Recently, I purchased the McCall's 1948 sewing pattern from a person on eBay.  The pattern pieces were cut out, but they weren't all present.  The pattern is missing the belt pattern piece.  However, I was looking high and low for this pattern for a reasonable price and I used Buy it Now and got it at a reasonable price!  Yay!  I'm sure I would not find this pattern for a lower price anywhere. 






I modified my machine embroidery pattern to indicate steam rising from the cup of cocoa and also I placed the cup of cocoa by itself and the plate of doughnuts by themselves. 

As it turns out, the huge pocket for this apron measures 11 inches across at the center of the pocket.  What a huge pocket!  I usually make large embroidery designs so I'm hoping that my designs still fit.  I thought I might try neatening up the edges instead of putting on the bias binding by just turning them back and hemming using a rolled hem?  I wanted this pattern as I really need something better to answer the door in!  LOL!

What treasured patterns are you in search of?  How do you like my featured pattern on the top of the blog?  I changed it to Advance 4113.

Thank you for reading to the end!
