Apron History

What has a foot on each side and one in the middle?

HISTORY OF THE APRON

Remember making aprons in Home-Ec?

I don't think our kids know what an Apron is.

The principals of Grandma's Apron was to protect the dress underneath, because she only had a few, it was easier to wash Aprons than dresses and they used less material, but along with that they served as a pot holder for removing pans from the oven.

 

It was wonderful for drying childrens tears, and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears.

 

From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven.

 

When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids, and when the weather was cold, grandma wrapped it around her arms.

 

Those big old Aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over the hot wood stove.

 

Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in the Apron.

 

From the garden it carried all sorts of vegetables. After the peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls. In the fall, the Apron was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees.

 

When unexpected company drove up the road, it was suprising how much furniture that old Apron could dust in a matter of seconds.

 

When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out onto the porch, waved her Apron, and the men knew it was time to come in from the fields to dinner.

 

It will be a long time before someone invents something that will replace that 'old time Apron' that se rved so many purposes!
