I'm Ann, and I wear aprons.

Imagine this scenerio...a mom standing over a pile of clothes (mostly shirts) shaking her head as she goes through and pre-treats the stains for the wash...hoping the clothes aren't ruined.  This is me. And it's not my husbands clothes or my 7 year old sons clothes...they are mine. I'm a slob in the kitchen you see. I have ruined more clothes by cooking and cleaning than I care to count. My solution is aprons. Not those silly half things, they don't serve any purpose for me except a place to dry my hands. I need those full aprons that cover my shirts too. I had some family members that snickered at me when I registered for aprons as I was putting together my bridal registry 12 years ago. I could only find the butcher types then, but they worked...when I would wear them. Family and friends also snickered at me when I would wear my aprons so for a long time I avoided them. Today, they can snicker all they want, I wear them all the time. I personally like the frilly, pretty old fashioned ones like my great-grandmother would wear. I'm even making some aprons to give out as gifts to those very same family members who snickered at me. And you know what? I think they might even wear them! I find that I feel more feminine and productive when I'm wearing an apron (whether or not I'm actually am). And I'm not ruining as many shirts.

I began using aprons a few months ago and really love them. I would have been the one laughing before I was "converted" to them! Now the laugh is on the other side of my face!

I love wearing aprons! I have 3 or 4 that I pull out when I am cooking "messy" stuff! I too have ruined too many of my t-shirts with red sauce or grease!

Aprons I wear them them every day..I have work ones and good ones . I wear them all the time I have so many and I have started making them.. I even wear them to church. I have so many patterns I have picked up over the last few months. But I only like a few styles the canning apron and the old fashion one plus my Amish one I wear always.. You can get some really good deals at Jo-anne Fabics on patterns right now they have a pattern sale for 1.99
