Smile. Yes I wore an apron. One my grandmother gave me(pinstriped, I think it's pillow ticking).....and my hair tied up.

DD did when she was baking cookies last night. I don't own one, but it would be a good idea.

I wear aprons religiously for gardening and for cooking.

I always wear my apron when baking, and a different one when frying (when I remember!)

Yep I wear a apron daily. I do take it off if the doorbell rings. Lol

I do most of the time, I have several of my mother's that I wear.

I have a big stack of white cotton chef aprons on a pantry shelf. I wear one cooking, cleaning, washing up, etc., every single day....all day. I've saved a lot of clothes from spots and stains, believe me. Even plain water can leave marks on freshly laundered fabric.

I toss them in the laundry with white kitchen and bath towels, hot water and a little bleach or oxy.

I always wear an apron when working in my kitchen. Different ones for the seasons. I’m really messy when baking, but the end product is worth it lol

I wear my one apron on Thanksgiving and Christmas only. I spill and splatter a lot.

Yep. I have one and I wear it. I cook a lot, and am a slob. I don't wash it everyday, not even once a week, so it gets bad. But it saves me from have to wear two or three sets of clothes a day. Mine is a grey, heavy cotton chef's apron with big front pockets.

I wear one for cooking a big meal; not for everyday as I'm not fixing a roast and 3 sides! I'm also not dressed up when cooking for myself. I have had many, many aprons over my adult life, and the one I like best was brought to me by a friend, from London. It's from Harrods and is pic coated fabric, cord over head, covers entire front, ties in back. It works a treat!

Anglo I have some of those pvc coated aprons. My mother sends them to me from England. They are really great for washing up after a big meal, as your clothes stay nice and dry. All they need is a wipe and they are clean.

I don't even like splatters on my casual clothes or PJs! Many toothpaste and mouthwash brands have hydrogen peroxide that can spatter back on your perfectly good clothes.

I splattered a bit of my carrot bisque when pouring it into a container to take to our dinner! It would have ended up on a cashmere sweater I just changed in to.

I rarely wear an apron. If anything, I have a cotton housecoat (remember them?) that snaps down the front and will wear that. Kind of like a smock. When entertaining, I will get all dressed and put on the housecoat to finish up last minute chores. When the doorbell rings, I just rip it open and toss in laundry room. Works for me.

You saved my clothes! I have aprons but I don't always wear them. I saw your post and got out my apron and it saved my shirt from some meat drippings which would have assuredly stained it.

Thank you!

I almost always wear an apron when I'm in the kitchen. Saves clothes!

I have about 4 canvas aprons that slip over my head and tie in the back, with front pouch pockets. I use them frequently, except for one that I brought back as a souvenir from Le Grand Epicerie in Paris. I don't want to stain it lol!!

Of Dear, I wish I did☹️

I will tomorrow when we have our TG

I don't own one. I do all the prep wearing my household sweats or t shirts. Somehow I can manage to get the food from stove to table without an apron.
I don't do exhibition cooking where I have to be dressed up.

I have 3 but I never wear them. I should - I have a bad habit of wiping my hands on my clothes, so I don't wear nice clothes when I cook.

I never wear them. I'm not the neatest prep cook, but aprons just seem to get in my way. On the other hand, I put a cool-material chef's jacket on my gift list to serve the same purpose. But no one has given me one yet.

My favorite option in aprons are simple; bib aprons with pockets and ties that wrap around me to the front. I can hang a dish cloth at the waist for hand wiping.

I prefer the white cotton chef or longer butcher aprons simply because of how streamlined they are, how easy to clean, and that they are very inexpensive.

I did. I have one that I bought last year with fall colors...and I bought all my girls red ones when we bake Christmas cookies and will wear that one for Christmas.

I was a bad girl and didn't wear mine. I was fortunate not to get anything on me. I do own several, and wear them often, just didn't think about it yesterday. I don't like those that have the loop, or ties behind the neck. It pulls and makes my neck hurt. I prefer the old fashioned pinafore style. I had a couple, but I purchased them, and they are a bit small for my fluffy body. I really need to just break down and make my own to fit me.

Rhizo I also love the all white aprons as long as they are all cotton or linen. I have a load weekly but sometimes wash them with the flour sack towels. A clean one daily, but if I'm really messy in the kitchen I'll change to a clean one. I love the pockets and usually find them full of do dads that I've picked up around the house, a lego, a pen or even change out of pants pockets I find when doing laundry. I always empty the pockets at some point onto the breakfast bar, call everyone to retrieve their stuff except the pocket change which is now mine. LOL. Heck aprons over the years have become an accessory to my outfits. Lol

I wear an apron most of the time. Like many have said, it saves stains on clothing, especially greasy stains. I found myself still wearing mine when I sat down to eat. Too tired to get up and take it off! Plus it’s a cute, pretty print my DGD gave me, which I think it came from Anthropologie.

Tami, you might like a pinafore style of apron, with no ties anywhere. My husband gave me one from Rough Linen a couple of years ago and I love it. I'll bet that there are loads of patterns for similar aprons; lots of people dislike the ties on traditional aprons.

Rhizo....wow a RL pinafore is my dream. LOL

Rhino, I'd love one of those pinafore style aprons, but Rough Linen is a little too pricey for me. Etsy has some that are cheaper. I've been tempted.

Cindy I see Etsy does have linen pinafores much cheaper. I wonder about the quality of the linen. I've seen linen sold by the yard at Walmart for 2.97 a yard and it was such bad quality I wouldn't pay a dime for it.

Real linen has made such a comeback that it has many people seeking out the cheapest and making all kinds of stuff and making big bucks on it. I personally like linen for clothing and kitchen towels but not for bedding. My daughter would love a linen duvet cover but I've used percale so long I could never sleep with linen.

I have never been in the habit of wearing an apron and I don't own any. I do have a painting smock that I use when doing messy jewelry related things that involve paint, epoxy, resin, liver of sulfur and other concoctions and it has saved my clothing many times. Plus it has pockets which come in handy.

Luckily, I rarely get food/splatters on my clothes while cooking!

Rhizo, and Cindy, those would be perfect, except for the price and size. I have one similar that I bought at a craft show, that I would be perfectly happy wearing, except for the fact it is too tight. I have neck issues with anything that will pull on it. I have very tight muscles in my neck and shoulders, and have been diagnosed with essential tremors, which are accentuated the tighter those muscles get. I will have to look and see if I can find a pattern.

I wear one when preparing large meals. Mine are the bib kind, some are plain and a couple are more fancy The fancier ones I wore right up to serving time then took it off.

Bossy... I never thought about wearing an apron for gardening... What a great idea...I guess I need to get a few gardening themed ones! I also wear an apron in the kitchen....they hang off the door of my oven so they are right there. I have aprons from Hawaii and France that are my favs! Of course the colors have to match my kitchen too!

I wear an apron when I am baking. A friend bought me a white one that is long with ties that wrap around to the front. I don't know if it is a bakers' or butchers' one or neither.

As a professional horticulturist, I've been wearing gardening aprons for tens of years! I started the habit while studying at my university, spending a couple of hours in the greenhouse labs, then needing to rush off to environmental law or organic chemistry classes.

My gardening aprons are heavy canvas or denim with sturdy pockets. They get blasted with the hose more often than tossed in the laundry.

Funny story.....my garden aprons hang from a hook at the entry of our shed, just inside the door. Early this year, a tiny Carolina wren tried to build a nest in a pocket. If one more day had gone by, I would have had to retire that apron for the spring.

I emptied the pocket contents on the ground outside the door and it was quickly collected and reassembled elsewhere.

Rhizo, I've had similar experiences with Carolina wrens attempting to build a next in the mailbox basket. If I don't catch them the first or second day I have to leave a note for the mail person to use the box instead.

Oh look - a spammer!

Where?
