( I find our new family members - vegetarian a challenge some of the time ) I wear an apron and love making bright colourful ones.Some I make reversible so there is a decision to make about which side to start using. My favourite one, I am wearing at the moment is made out of linen ( like a tea towel ). Mine don't go right around like a pinafore. They are sometimes called pinnies - but that was more a term used by my Mum's generation. I think they are making a comeback...like knitting and other craft...perhaps some things can't be bettered.<br /> Happy New Year to you in advance!Ali Honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671890094425941272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-28860261477939196742013-12-27T16:30:44.802-05:002013-12-27T16:30:44.802-05:00I had not seen a pinny or pinafore like yours worn...I had not seen a pinny or pinafore like yours worn as an apron before this. <br />Some shop assistants here wear a cobblers apron, usually made of patterned cotton fabric. Nowadays though this is changing as more and more shops supply easy-care uniform shirts and trousers for their staff. My local cobblers were either no apron or a vinyl one. Florists still wear protective aprons, sometimes in the pinafore style. Kitchen workers wear aprons and hair nets or caps. Some hospitality workers wear aprons if they handle food. Cleaners do not wear aprons. Veterinary staff used to wear pinafores or aprons but no longer do so. We have lots of regulations about hygiene in the workplace now; not all of it is followed regarding the laundering of protective clothing. <br />Do I wear an apron at home? Sometimes, because I am a grub. For cooking? Sometimes. For cleaning? Sometimes. For gardening? No. How often do I wash it? I replace the apron only weekly, unless it is obviously dirty. Am I an efficient housekeeper? No.MLM247https://www.blogger.com/profile/06365562372896637044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-60361451393205866042013-12-27T15:03:18.848-05:002013-12-27T15:03:18.848-05:00Thank you for the link :-)

I used to make pinafores for my daughters - but they were more of a decorative apron that went over the top of a pretty dress - not for protection but to enhance the outfit - and usually made of soft white fabrics with lots of lace and ruffles. I guess you'd better start listing ways you are being good so Santa will bring you the bed linens.

You can wear something nice and protect it while baking, gardening or cleaning. A quick untying of a couple of strings and you are ready to face the world. Besides, I like the way it makes me look like I'm really working hard. .
