does anyone use an apron when cleaning and cooking

momoyama

I got a new PVC one before Christmas with a Union Jack pattern. Not what I really wanted but it's probably the best apron in terms of size and comfort that I've got.

Apparently sale ends tonight.
I like these aprons because they have the shaped neck which makes them more comfortable.
They also sit tidy on my chest, so I can see what I am doing - I find most other styles gape, stick out and get in the way.

I have quite a few aprons! I do love them!

Plus I was just sent 12 vintage gingham ones with cross stitch embroidery on them by a pen pal!

Now I have a huge collection! All different colours and styles. I am 26 and I don't know that any of my friends (of my age) wear aprons.

i always wear either a tabard or ladies overall when cleaning either at home or at work,even at work they are so comfortable even though not male attire.

I LOVE my apron and absolutely convinced I'm more productive when I wear one
dd,s bought me a cath kidston dotty one last christmas, and I've just treated myself to an Emma bridgewater toast one in the sale which I love - feels a treat to wear them - sad I know but .......:rotfl:

Another vote for aprons (or pinnies as they were called when I was young!) I feel 'official' when wearing them to work in the kitchen and take it off before eating, which signals that I'm now off duty!
I remember my first assignment for needlework at school many moons ago was a blue nylon apron which we bound with bias binding by hand, then embroidered our names on the bib. (My older sister made a gingham one embroidered with cross stitch. My school was more modern ) Thanks for the memories....:T
Pinnies used by my Mother and Grandmother were made out of old material salvaged from dresses. They were always swapped for a fresh one before answering the front door or if the Doctor was expected!:)

I wear a 'pinny' when I'm cooking too. I have also made a couple of home made ones for my 3 year old grand daughter who wears them when she has her meals. I've just cut out her a new one to match the patchwork seat pads I've made for our kitchen chairs. Her teddy is getting a matching one too - but he won't grow out of his!!

I only ever wear one when baking with the kids (but then I only ever bake when the kids want to as I'm pretty poor at it).

perhaps I don't do the right sort of cleaning (I certainly do as little as possible) but I never need to change or protect clothes unless I'm diy-ing.

I could have written this exact post except it was me that did the gingham one with cross stitch at school - and wore it until it died

I now wear a pvc pinny (or nippy as the youngest used to call them when she was 3 ) and I have a small selection. I use especially when cleaning/washing up - I'm a messy washer upper, and if I get the bleach out ..... well, let's just say that a lot of my clothes used to have bleach stains

I keep meaning to make one the same as my Mum's - cotton bib type apron with large pockets on the front. She uses it to keep the pegs in and puts it on when pegging out the washing. With the laundry basket on a plastic garden chair and pegs in the pinny it means she doesn't have to bend to peg out the washing and never has to hunt for the peg bag or chase it down the line. It works surprisingly well!
