Apron for Fiddler on the Roof

By

This apron was made a few months ago and I totally forgot about it!  No, I don’t post everything I ever make, but this one I was happy with how it turned out from looking at pictures online of aprons. My beautiful friend Kate was in the play Fiddler on the Roof and asked if I could help her make an apron so she wouldn’t get stuck in an unflattering pinafore.DSC_0736We looked around online and saw a couple different aprons that she liked. She had an old sheet she wanted to use, and it ended up being perfect for the play.  Here it is on me:

She gave me permission to post a couple pictures of herself wearing it for the play.  Kate did wonderful in her role as Tzeitel!

I would love to do a modern version of it—mostly just shortened and with fun fabrics.  I was a bit nervous sewing this as I knew it had to be approved by the director of the play.  He was worried initially when she told him she didn’t want to wear the pinafore, plus it was going to be worn in front of an audience.  Thankfully it was just an apron and not really a big deal.  I can’t imagine sewing such intricate costuming that you see onstage!

Thanks for reading!

  3. This is so cool Christie. I like the subtle pattern detail. This would look great cropped for everyday, I agree!
