In this interview, Amy Karol talks about her lifelong love of vintage clothing, including aprons, and how vintage designs and patterns have influenced her own sewing and writing. You can find more of Amy’s inspirational work on her website, amykarol.com, on her popular blog or on her Flickr vintage aprons group, which is a member of our Hall of Fame.

Amy Karol says this about herself:

I earned the title of ‘craft queen’ at the tender age of 3 or 4 from my art-loving mother. I grew up around quilters, writers and creative eccentrics in my immediate and extended family and am a very lucky girl with a lot of funny stories.

The interview is thorough and talks about sewing inspired by vintage clothing, vintage eras, Flickr photo groups, pattern collecting, ribbon and buttons, different styles of aprons, and more. Certainly a good read for anyone interested in apron patterns.
