Mom's Apron
|
This isn't homeschool related, but I wanted to share a link for an apron giveaway on a friend's blog. Go to Sallie's Seaside Tales Blog for a chance to win either a Regency Apron or an Amish Apron Pattern from Amelia's Aprons. Growing up, my mom never wore an apron, but my grandmother always did. Every time she cooked, she'd tie on her apron. She kept them in a drawer, and her sister (who lived right next door) also had a drawer-full of aprons. They were the 1950s style "half" aprons that went from the waist to around knee-length. My cousin (whose grandmother was my grandmother's sister) and I would dig out those aprons and have the best time wearing them and playing restaurant or house or anything else we could think of. My favorite was a green one, and my cousin's favorite was an orange one made from a sheer, gauzy material. Not sure that one had much practical-use! When my cousin's grandmother passed away, we couldn't find any of the aprons. When my grandmother passed away, I could only find one blue one. I still have the blue one, but I've often wondered what happened to any of the others. I actually prefer a full length apron, though–with a bodice and a long skirt portion. I think it looks nicer. Check out that Edwardian apron on Amelia's Apron–absolutely beautiful! |
