I love aprons, they are one of the most versatile items of clothing, suitable for so many jobs- from cooking and cleaning to crafting and classrooms and many, many others. Made of soft, yet durable cotton, they are the perfect cover-up.

All of my aprons have deep pockets because I cannot go through my day without collecting bits and bobs in my pockets. The best game is finding an apron not used for a while and the sentimental memory game as you go through your pockets.

And, of course, frills - there must be frills, and ribbons to go with pretty fabrics.

Aprons should never be boring..
