 "Marigolds"
Our "Marigolds" bib garden apron was named after it's golden color fabric
with pretty flowers printed on it. This garden apron has 3 large front
pockets with green trim, a decorative top pocket with feminine eyelet
trim, and long ties. The large apron piece goes all the way to the
back to protect your clothes as seen in the photo above. |

"Christmas Holly"
handmade kitchen apron is made from pretty red cotton calico Christmas
fabric with green leaves and red berries printed on it. The
waistband and long ties are made from the same fabric. Add a
Christmas cookbook or magazine and a cookie cutter and you've got the
perfect gift for mom, friend, sister, or grandma. |
| The apron came about
because of practical necessity. In years gone by, people didn't have the
luxury of owning a large wardrobe. Washing and drying clothing was not
done on a frequent basis. So aprons served a practical purpose of covering
up the dress underneath to project it from soiling. This made washing much
easier. The apron would be washed every couple of days but the dress or
clothing underneath did not have to be washed as much, perhaps maybe once
a week. Click here for
more apron history information. |
