VISITING AUTHOR/EDITOR ARTICLE APRIL 2009 HISTORY OF APRONS Forwarded From American Aid Society of German Descendants Richard Gunther, Seniorengruppe
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, it was easier to wash aprons than dresses and they used less material, but along with that, it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven.
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. Today our kids would go crazy trying to figure out how many germs were on that apron. I don't think I ever caught anything from an apron But Love !!
