Going to high school there was a course called home economics. Before we took the course we had to make an apron. I still remember that apron. Bright yellow with small blue flowers. I don't remember wearing it after the course but isure remember the apron. And it had big pockets and we made a matching pot holder. oh, memories. I sure remember aprons.

It was my son's when he worked at McDonald's. I've had others but I don't know where they are now. I tend to wear an apron only on holidays when I am dressed nice. I never knew either of my grandmother's. I have an apron. It was my son’s when he worked at McDonald’s. I’ve had others but I don’t know where they are now.

She always wore and apron -always! Hers were a bib apron but with armhole openings and they tied in the back. I started about six years ago making bib aprons but the pattern I use has a strap type neck and then a slimmer tie in the back, plus mine are squared whereas my grandma's aprons all were rounded at the bottom and often had lace trim around them too. I've come to love using an apron and it's saved many items of clothing from getting badly stained with tomato sauces, greasy substances, chocolate -you name it! For the life of me, I can't undertand why so many people go without an apron as they're easy to throw on, equally easy to launder too and can save a whole lot of regrets with respect to other clothing.

I'm a messy baker and it helps to keep the clothes clean. I always wear an apron when I’m baking. I’m a messy baker and it helps to keep the clothes clean.

We have all forgotten about the aprons. You really have got all the advantages with it here. Very well written I must say :-) Excellent post really. I remember that my Mom had one too. Of course many Mom's in those days were attending schools of domestic science and learnng all about how to take care of a home properly. I know my Mom did and I must say it paid off. Ah, her cooking were excellent and especially the sauces. Yummy. And she really knew how to make - or more like sorcery - dinner out from nothing. My parents didn't have much money. Thanks for passing by leaving the nice comment :-) Oh, you’re so right! We have all forgotten about the aprons. You really have got all the advantages with it here.
