I made full aprons to sell at the church bazaar. They are a hit in the specialty shops in the city. My granddaughter requested a 'retro apron' for Christmas. I'm not sure Grandma wore one in black and white with three tiers of bound ruffles for the skirt, but it's as cute as can be. I have another to do for my youngest daughter's daycare provider. She wears a full apron often. Hers will a bit more tradional, but cover all the way around with a pocket - you forgot the pocket for a handkerchief - not a tissue.
I printed your post to include with the aprons. May I have your permisson to do so? . My friend who is the daycare provider is old enough to appreciate it.
Raptureready, you can do all those things and stiil wear an apron. My grandmother had her first motocycle ride at 85 and loved it. I have no tattoos, and prefer a canoe to a cruiseship, but I've done the rest since I became a grandmother.
