My school sewing never looked like that! I do have my apron that I wore when taking my first home science class at age 12 which my mother made to the school requirements and then to my complete embarrassment - beautifully embroidered my NAME on it! I was horrified thtat I was the only girl to have her name on her apron. But, I treasure it now.Sharn Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12322295467277564960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937252981746908830.post-57805481708402224832011-12-06T18:52:14.933+11:002011-12-06T18:52:14.933+11:00Cassmob - it wouldn't have occurred to me unti...Cassmob - it wouldn't have occurred to me until I saw a tweet and I immediately knew what I had to write.

I've made a couple and appliqued them but rarely do I wear one. I love your cross-stitched one...good idea of Jill's to frame it, I think. Handcrafts are a heritage item from our female ancestors that we tend to overlook. Thanks for reminding us how important they are to memories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937252981746908830.post-24802220741876346782011-12-03T08:35:02.683+11:002011-12-03T08:35:02.683+11:00I have a similar cross-stitched apron also made wh...I have a similar cross-stitched apron also made while attending primary school!I have to say that yours looks more sophisticated!Jaysanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937252981746908830.post-37004804818091372962011-12-01T21:35:22.904+11:002011-12-01T21:35:22.904+11:00My grandmother was a great cook but I can't re...My grandmother was a great cook but I can't remember any specific apron but I know she wore one daily.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08099651984506366012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937252981746908830.post-42119019786007101382011-12-01T21:02:33.596+11:002011-12-01T21:02:33.596+11:00You have conjured up so many memories - My Nanna&#...You have conjured up so many memories - My Nanna's cross-stitched aprons, her utilitarian work ones, the apron we had to wear every day at school even when we were 17, silly BBQ aprons, dainty organza ones.<br /><br />Congrats on your apron - it is a masterpiece - would look good in a frame.GeniAushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074874999181040071noreply@blogger.com
