Pretty apron surprise

Found this pretty pink apron at an estate sale last Thursday.  I thought it was so cute!  So yesterday I was treating a few spots on it before I washed it.

 And when I picked it up and looked at the other side, was I ever surprised!  It is reversible!!!  Wow!

How stinkin' cute is this??!!  Well, I'm off to iron this.  Then I will press a summer dress I found at the same estate sale.  And here it is:

 This is the front!  Lots of ruffles at the bottom and the fabric is soft pinks and white.  A pretty summer frock.  Would this be cute at a summer party over a cap sleeve T so that you don't get sunburned?

Here you can see that it ties in the back.  Just love this!  Wish I could wear it, but I think it is pretty close to a size 8.

Trying my mother's advice . . .

I recently purchased this darling apron at an estate sale. I love the polka dots and the big pockets. There are four deep pockets that begin with the first horizontal blue strip of seam binding.However, as with a lot of older linens, it had spots on it. So I washed it this morning. The spots did lighten up, but they are still there. So I decided to use my "red neck clothes dryer" and let it dry in the sun. My mother used to tell me that the sun will bleach out some spots. Here's hoping!

Do you have any advice for taking spots out of old linens?? What do you do??

After it dries, I will iron it and take it to Merchant Square to sell in my booth. I have a good selection of aprons in my booth -- from hostess or party aprons to everyday work aprons. Several in red and several in organza. One has hankies that were sewn on for pockets! Cute!
