Aprons
Posted by Lyn
I was reading just before about aprons & am wondering who wears them. I have often meant to get one (the ones here in the Store look nice) so wonder whether you have made them, gifts - like the ones I mentioned, or what. When I have been caught in clean-ish clothes, I have been known to tuck a tea towel around my neck - looks like an oversized bib, & definately not a look I want to be caught out with!!

I have commercially made ones for work, but used to make my own, including my Christmas ones which will get an airing very soon. Have others that I have made. With a bib and long length cos if I have a short one on, yes, you've read it, down the trousers........Slop!!!!!

I collect nana's old aprons - Daisy's favourite is one with roses on it and a bib - I just double up and around her tiny waist, and my favourite has a (not quite sure what the PC word is) black face mammy sewn on it with gold earrings sewn on to match - it's bright red and lovely.
For the heavy duty jobs though, I have a black (well dark greyish now) denim one with pockets, and a country road one that has an adjustable neck - great for us shorties who don't want to wear the bib part over our tummies only.

I have a neat Jo Seagar one that I think was a prize in a competition a few years back. The only problem I have is that the neck loop starts to make my neck tired after a while. Wish I could find a pattern for one that had shoulder straps...I know, I know, then I really would look like a Nana! But I would be comfortable!

I have some from my mother in laws collection, one of them with beautiful embroidery that she used to do. Use that on special occasions and when we have friends around as I am known to slop the food around a fair bit. Have a heavy duty one that I wear when cooking after work and havent had time to change or when I'm doing a serious amount of baking. I have learnt to tuck the tea towel into the band now instead of wiping my hands on my pinny and invariably my pants!!!!

I love my apron - i have three and my mother says that they are like my security blankets!! in fact, when i cook at other people's houses, i tuck a tea towel into my waist band as i feel naked in the kitchen without my pinny!!! My favourite one is a pink tinkerbell one which I got in japan last year and is Japanese style. i love it! I'm never in the kitchen without my pinny on!

I'm just wondering whether anyone has purchase one of the aprons off this site - I have asked for one for Christmas and was going to point my family in the direction of this website however I am a little wee thing and I'm worried that it might engulf me. Any idea what size they are?
Thanks, Kimberley
