Porque Aprons? – Why study the social and technical science of apron creation in late November?

  1. Another interesting podcast! Have you ever heard of making aprons from men's shirts? I was thinking that once your husband's nightshirts have holes in the elbows, you could turn the fronts into aprons.

    1. I have never heard of that! It certainly sounds like something my foremothers probably did - before my own mother, that is, who as I shared in the podcast is never caught dead sewing or wearing an apron!

      Thank you for sharing that tidbit :-)
