BOy - I thought I was something and I think everyone got a home make apron that Christmas! I have lots of bib type aprons - a couple of my grandmothers too. My honey gave me an awesome "gingerbread" bib type apron this Christmas, but I hate to wear it and get it dirty!! Quote \| Reply \| Report

I still use them today..but not much for cooking' ..more for working .... Quote \| Reply \| Report

I have a few of the ones she made and I wear them mostly at Christmas time. I have one that my grnadmother made me for Christmas as a child (probleably about 3-4 years old) I gave it to my grand daughter for Christmas the year she was 1. My daughter in law has it in Emma's closet and we wore our aprons this past Christmas me 55 years old and Emma 3. Quote \| Reply \| Report
