1951 Vintage Ripply Apron

As this apron takes less than a yard of fabric (although it take 3 1/2 yds of bias tape) and I love how it looks, this is one for sure I want to make this coming year. 

The style may be almost 60 years old, but it is so classic with fresh touches it will never truly be out of style.

This 1951 Vintage Ripply Apron is based an apron Woman’s Day, April 1951. 

The pattern and instructions are here over at Tipnut.

HieroConv V1.0 - Free English to Hieroglyphic software

In researching medicinal properties of onions for the "Folk Magic" cough syrup, I cam across this wonderfully informative site http://www.kingtutshop.com/. I clicked on the free section and they have free software to download to convert English to Hieroglyphics.

I downloaded it and it was simple to use - below is my name converted into hieroglyphic.

I am not sure what I am going to use this for, but know there is a craft application here somewhere. Maybe an Egyptian themed t-shirt, journal or calendar.
