Mom With An Apron
Aprons have been making a comeback in kitchen fashion. They were once seen as old fashioned and tired, but recently many women are bringing them back. With fun and funky new prints they aren’t the 1950s staple anymore.
Despite the stigma some have against aprons and what they represent, they really are quite useful. Anytime you are in the kitchen cooking and baking having an apron on hand can keep the mess to a minimum. Even when you are crafting a good apron can save your clothes from paint, glue, and an assortment of other stains waiting to happen. You know what they say about all work and no play? Aprons can be fun and playful too! Forget the ideas of standing in th kitchen in heels and pearls with your little apron on, today’s apron look is whatever you want it to be. Blogs such as The Apronista and Apron Memories are great reads for those with an apron love going on.
If you’re still looking for the perfect sewing project to take on why not try making an apron. There are dozens of tutorials online that will guide you through any apron style you like. You can make a retro styled table apron, a small craft apron, recycle a dishtowel into an apron, and even a cute little child’s apron. There are so many more tutorials out there, all you have to do is look.
One site that is overflowing with apron tutorials is My Byrd House. In fact she loves aprons so much that right now she’s putting together an apron swap. Sign up ends on January 20th, but you have until MArch 1st to get your apron made and swapped. I signd up and am already looking for the perfect spring prints. Go join me!
