I do it for a kid's one that Katie has, which was apparently designed for preteens, not preschoolers.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11701752490370770940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8924327700647135447.post-89490190055455682452011-04-06T10:34:39.805-07:002011-04-06T10:34:39.805-07:00Well, my apron really does have superpowers! Every...Well, my apron really does have superpowers! Everytime I put it on all I want to do is cook and clean! When I feel lazy, all I have to do is convince myself to get off the sofa and get my apron on, and it's all downhill from there :) <br /><br />Amanda, one of my favorites is the Lorelei pattern from A is for Apron. Seriously, it is so cute! (That one is my magic apron)! I wear it all the time and for whatever! I've yet to have this one irritate my neck and I don't feel it pulling on it.Mama Corahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01392242132421778671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8924327700647135447.post-69102630884482506982011-04-06T09:45:39.068-07:002011-04-06T09:45:39.068-07:00I adore the style of the apron that Kristina G gav...I adore the style of the apron that Kristina G gave me for my wedding shower. I was actually thinking of paying her to make me another one if she is able. Not sure if you know the style but it's more smock style plus it has pockets. I wear it for cooking, doing dishes and sometimes for cleaning. Usually when I clean I wear junky clothes so I don't care if they get icky. But anytime I want to protect my shirt I wear the apron. It makes me feel very housewifey when I wear it to clean! LOL. I have a couple that go around the neck and you're right, they just aren't comfortable after a point. They really irritate the back of neck. A waist apron for me wouldn't work. They don't protect my top which, for me is where I get everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. But they are super cute!Heather @CommonplaceBeautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06422351454106417116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8924327700647135447.post-45174032810702397052011-04-06T09:43:09.386-07:002011-04-06T09:43:09.386-07:00Ummmm...
