Thank you so much for the "walk down memory lane". With each sentence, I could just see my dearly departed grandmother doing all those things. She had aprons to match each dress -- and if someone was coming and you didn't have time to change your dress, a clean apron would do wonders!

Grandmothers with aprons, aunts with aprons, mothers with aprons what wonderful memories we have. Thanks for sharing your memories. I use an apron and so does my g-daughter, she is learning to cook. Oneday she can pass on these memories to the next generation.

I was in the 7th grade when I made mine out of a satin cotton. White with red cherries and red rick-rack across the three sectional pockets. I loved that apron. It was the second thing I ever sewed, the first was a square gym bag ,draw string and our name embroidered on the bottom corner, to put our gym clothes in....... 1962....

My Mother always wore an apron, and would change into a clean one about the time my Dad got home from work. I never wore one until I got older. I guess I'm more prone to getting drips and stains on the front of me now than I was when I was younger. I have some full ones (not bib) that my Mother made me in 1985 that I still wear and cherish.
