Wearing an apron I definitely have less stained and ruined clothing. I always get wet doing dishes but the my apron keeps me drier.

But that bottom panel looks redeemable. It's such a pretty panel too.<br />I can see this going back to being curtains. Maybe cut in half with each piece framed out with sashing, then hung over a small window, OR, one of your pics turned into a poster. If you don't have a window over your sink it could serve as one adding the loving sentiment it always has to your meal prep and home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-50736380924488160172022-04-21T02:45:46.521-07:002022-04-21T02:45:46.521-07:00Check out the site for Ritz dye ( or is it Ritz?) ...Check out the site for Ritz dye ( or is it Ritz?)

Note: These were headed to the dumpster due to a new apron design. I wore these so much I would unconsciously wear it to the store for a quick errand and wondered why people came to me asking questions about where items were. My kids would laugh at me for this. I still have them but the stains are beyond cleaning. Thankfully they are a heavy muslin cotton and are not likely to get rips. That cross back one looks fantastic, will have to check it out.Rita Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09523580385383891233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-80342437666578925312022-04-20T07:50:21.806-07:002022-04-20T07:50:21.806-07:00First of all, I love the story about your beloved ...First of all, I love the story about your beloved apron, what a sweet gesture. There was a lot of thought and time that went into that gift!<br /><br />Secondly, I have a cross-back apron and it is by far my favorite, ever! Mine actually came from the store Market Place and I believe it was about $25. A gift from MY daughter who doesn't sew. ;)<br /><br />I wonder if you could cut out one of the chickens from your old apron and affix it to your new apron somehow?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-87319672601167351552022-04-20T07:15:39.204-07:002022-04-20T07:15:39.204-07:00I could never wear a regular apron.

As far as easily putting them on… hold the two straps in tension together across your thumbs. You will see this creates three holes, one for each arm and your head. Hope that makes sense. Wish I could attach a photo. Enjoy your new apron!
