I like the neck-line on these aprons. So many choices of fabric, too!

I do, but the apron I wear is super-duper ugly. I tie-dyed a white apron a couple of summers ago, and that's what I wear! It has some stains on it, too... Need a new one!

(Where do you find cute ones?? )

Yes! If I am cooking something messy or doing big jobs in the kitchen I wear an apron.

I have two really, really cute ones! One is full-apron with fairies on it that one of my very best friends in the world made for me.

The other is a full apron that is BRIGHT yellow with ladybugs all over it. It is so cheerful! I got it at a farmer's market. The lady that made it had soooo many pretty aprons she had made!

I saw one at Whole Foods last week and I wanted it soooo badly, but I really do not need another apron. I walked away from it.

I have a cute half apron that is blue and has a cat on it that a friend I used to work with years and years ago made for me, but I rarely wear a half apron. I am really messy in the kitchen and it doesn't cover my upper-half which is where I tend to end up being sploshed on.

I'd check etsy ( just Google it) for cute aprons.

I do wear an apron many days. I tend to spend a lot of time in the kitchen daily... some days more than others... but I also have other household chores every day and wear one for that, too. I think it's a holdover from the days when I wore clothes that were nice enough to need protecting. I don't really need an apron, as I just wear t-shirts and shorts around the house. Like others, I'm often canning during the summer, too.

I also L.O.V.E. sewing aprons. I have quite a few (8 or 9 probably) and I've sewn several for dd, too (not matching... we both think that would be too cheesy) and one of our favorite activities when she's not in school is to don our aprons and work in the kitchen together.

Nope - I have a visceral reaction to even thinking about putting an apron on

Because my shirts attract olive oil like a magnet, I do have a couple of flannel shirts I wear instead Flannel shirts with shorts in the summer is quite the attractive outfit!

I have a chef's apron that I wear for messy jobs. I'd wear an apron more often if I had a place to keep it accessible. It gets folded up and lives with my baking pans and mixing bowls, so if I'm doing routine cooking I don't bother with it. I'd like a couple of more, but it's not a real priority.

I do take it off before sitting down at the table. It does bother me to see someone in an apron at the table.

I love my apron from Ikea because it's so adjustable. The waist strap and neck strap are all one continuous strap, making the neck fully adjustable without tying behind your neck.

I find that if I don't wear an apron I will stain my clothes, especially when frying bacon!

I also have a frilly half-apron that I wear sometimes, mostly for fun. I sewed it from the book Weekend Sewing. I would love to have more frilly aprons.

I do! I actually have a good handful of aprons just hanging off the side of my stove...

I get them from charity fundraisers where local craftspersons (usually seniors) show their knitting, sewing etc. I've also gotten a few at Value village and other 2nd hand stores.

My favourite apron is one that I got from VV for 99 cents. Its made out of quilting cotton that has seen so many washings its silky soft. The style is called something like "country style" or "farm house apron" or something like that, in that it is a full apron with a yoke at the back that prevents the shoulder straps from falling off. I love it because I can't stand the feel of straps brushing against my neck and pulling my neck down.

I love that apron so much I actually took measurements and have now sewn another "brand new" apron out of it.

Here's a link to an apron very similar to it...http://www.taylorsscarletthread.com/...on_enlarge.jpg

I do. I don't like to get my clothes covered with flour or squirted with tomato juice. Which they would.

However, I have never felt the need for my aprons to be "cute." An apron is an apron, to me. They're purely practical.

[verde]

I do when I bake. I always get flour on myself so I started wearing one. I have two aprons my grandmother made for me. They're great! They're more like a pinafore -- they have one button behind my neck, they cover the entire front of my clothes and they have pockets.

For the first time in my life, I decided that I needed an apron. I'll look on etsy as well

It's mostly because I'm sick and tired of putting on 'old clothes' to do my cooking, now that I'm out of infant-mode with the kids

[shnitzel]

I can never seem to remember to put one on so my clothing is constantly getting filthy. I even keep one hanging in the kitchen all the time.

[Mosaic]

I do. I got 2 plain red aprons free off the back of Hanover beans cans.

[sagewinna]

If I didn't wear an apron I'd be changing my clothes many times a day! I love them. I have some thrift store aprons, some homemade aprons and some were gifts.

[Sol_y_Paz]

No I do not.

[Cascadian]

OMG...looking at those aprons on etsy... It's like apron p0rn Now I'm DEFINITELY gonna wear one..

I have that one like that too! One in lime stripes and one in purple stripes. Ideally I would wear an apron but I usually forget to put one on until after I get something on my clothing.
