I lived with my grandparents for a little while and I remember when grandma embroidered grub roses on every piece of underwear (undies, singlets, petticoats) that had been made by my mother. I thought it was a bit silly then (aged 7) but I have appreciated that wonderful gesture by grandma for a very long time.
I use aprons, every time I cook, and have a habit of leaving my apron on as I eat, because I tend to have the dropsies when I eat. I’m sure a lot of you can associate with that!!
Anyway, I’ve been surfing again, and have sourced a great many free apron designs for you. I’ve been particular not to feature the same kind of pattern more than once, and I hope you like this lovely collection.
