What is it about aprons? I'm happy to see them making a come back but did they ever really leave us? I'm drawn to the older ones, vintage fabric can catch my eye from a mile away! lol I like to imagine the stories these aprons could tell, the tears they've wiped away or the hands that relied on them to get the baking done. Aprons are sure handy, appealing and some are down right stylish! But did you know they can be good therapy too! A facebook friend is battling cancer, she seen my aprons I have posted there and was inspired to sew one of her own, in breast cancer pink fabric and now is busy sewing up a storm in hopes of selling them to raise money for the next cancer walk. I'm thrilled, honored and on a quest to get a apron in every kitchen! Ok, that may be harder than I thought, but I can push my aprons till you get sick of seeing them, in hopes of inspiring more to sew!
And if your in need of a little apron therapy of your own, you still have time to join us in my first annual Christmas apron swap, just scroll down to the pretty Christmas apron post and get signed up! Partners will be passed out on Monday, the 15th so you have plenty of time left! So, tie one on for me, for you and all those apron wearers before us! Aprons rule!
Oh what a fun idea. ~
ReplyDeleteI am catching up with your blog.
Hope you have a lovely evening!
I am in the process of making aprons for Christmas presents. It is so fun to find fabric that fits the person you are making it for. I think I am in your swap!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I just wanted to tell you that I love your blog. And I have been following it for awhile now. It's official LOL It has been a pleasure. I also love aprons, we just had a apron swap. Nice chatting with you. Roxy
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to whoever made their first apron. How inspiring of a lady is she. Aprons always have a story to tell from the favorites with their different spots from wear and tear over the years to the new ones that are made to share the love of homekeeping with others. I am SOOOO excited about the Apron swap. Mrs. Sue thank you for giving us the oppurtunity to do things like this as always your writing has brought a smile to my face :)
ReplyDeleteIf I was close, I would hug and pat you on the back for being such a wonderful inspiration to the lady who is now sewing pink aprons. Being a country gal, I never saw an apron without a bib before I was grown. So I prefer bib ones. When I was small I would hide under my Mother's or Grandma's apron to feel secure from my older sister. Peace
ReplyDeleteWoohooo! I just finished up 2 aprons.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a good feeling to see a completed apron, knowing that it will be going to someone I have never met...to a new home, kitchen and hopefully it will be put to good use.

p.s. Sue, I don't know how far back in my blog you peeked, but several pages back you will see that where ever I camp, I hang a clothes line of 'mini aprons'...and I have special aprons for each of my trailers...
Happy Trails.....
I love aprons! I keep saying I'm going to learn how to make them myself, but everyone knows of my addiction to them. I have some from when my Nannie was young. I love that one!
