Hello Linda,
Yes I remember my late mother wearing her apron and she had one for me to wear when I helped her.
I also remember making and sewing an apron in our sewing class at Primary School (junior grade) I still have an embroidered apron that I brought out with me but not sure where I acquired it.
Aprons are like muslin cloth and the old flour bag cloths which my mother had for years and gave me one that I kept for a long time so we could boil our Plum Pudding in and place around the with string and safety pin for the steam puddings cooked in a bowl in boiling water in a large saucepan.
I actually found just down the road from us at the museum/second hand shop flour sacks and bought one. That museum/second hand shop is huge and I enjoy browsing down the aisles at all the old vintage stuff on sale and it also set up like a museum, some things I had not seen before as they must be unique to America while other old stuff I remembered quite well because we had them! Not so old afterall to me *lol*
