When I walk in the door from work...either I pour myself a glass of wine or DH brings it.... ON goes the apron....and ON goes my dinner plans.
I ruined so many tops with splatters of this and that... no way will I spend time in the kitchen without an apron. There are so many neat bibbed ones available....

Many thanks to all of you ladies for your responses. For those of you who like aprons, here is a website that I found a year or so ago which has 50+ free apron patterns, most of them retro. (Smiles)

I love aprons with bib upper halves. I don't sew, except for quilting, but friends have made many for me.
I wear an apron when cooking and when eating. When I do nothing gets on it. If I don't everything gets on my shirt.
It's a little like carrying an umbrella to keep it from raining.
