This is also from Pinterest. A mini apron made from a Ladies Handkerchief.
There are many websites on Aprons and collecting them. Many have pictures for ideas to make your own creations.
Buttons can be made from thin Fimo clay that is baked and then punched with a paper punch after being baked, or punch thick card stock and punch small holes with a needle tool. Fingernail polish can be applied to add shine and thickness to the button. Bunka can be unraveled for trim around the apron and pockets. Miniature rick rack is now being made and would look super on an old fashioned apron. If you go to your public library there are many books out on Aprons, the pictures can be traced and are just about the right size for 1/12" scale.
My Grandmother always had dozens of aprons because she worked at a restaurant. She had one for every Holiday, silly ones, and some really creative ones. Everyone knew what to make or give her for a gift occasion. She always had goodies in her pockets, and plenty of change from tips.
My other Grandmother wore an apron that covered her dress completely. Her pockets held all the useful items she would need for the day. Screwdrivers, hankies, nails and screws, hammer, pocket knife, string and always a poke (plastic bag) for anything she might happen upon outdoors and dried apples in case she got hungry.
Both aprons as beautiful as the Ladies they adorned.
