Apron material...what fabric is best???

Hi to all!

I have made MANY things in my sewing room.  BUT I am ashamed to say I do not have an apron in my kitchen AND I have never tried to make myself an apron!  I actually bought some industrial aprons for church and am in the process of embroidering (by machine) on them for our new church kitchen.  I bought them ONLY b/c I just could not figure out what kind of material is best to make one from scratch.

Any suggestions?  What do most folks use for a pretty "handmade" apron? 

Thanks!
