APRONS

~ REMEMBER
MAKING AN APRON IN HOME EC.? REMEMBER HOME EC.? ~
At
Folwell Jr. High, we made green aprons, and our sewing teacher was
Mrs. Travis.
Some of us were lucky enough to get to use the electric sewing machines, then
others of us got the treadle machines!!!
Remember trying to sew a seam on the treadles, only to mess up the treadle and go
in reverse and thus undoing the stitches we had just sewn?
The History of Aprons
I don't
think our kids know what an apron is.
The principal use of Grandma's apron
was to protect the dress underneath because she only had a few and because it
was easier to wash aprons than dresses and aprons required less material.
Along with that, it served as a potholder for
removing hot pans from the oven.
It was wonderful for drying children's 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 that 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 surprising 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 folk 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 served so many purposes.
Send this to those who would know
(and love) the story about Grandma's aprons..
Remember . . .
Grandma used to set her hot baked
apple pies on the window sill to cool. Her granddaughters set theirs on
the window sill to thaw.
They would go crazy now trying to figure out
how many germs were on that apron.
I don't think I ever caught anything from an apron - but love . . .
