So I love aprons. I've made some, been gifted some, and have received a few from farmgirls, and I love them all. However right now I just have them rolled up in one of my towel drawers, and honestly I'm running out of room, haha!

I've thought of hanging a hook on my pantry door, or maybe rolling them in a decorative bin on the counter so I can at least see them all. I have 7 now and I'm sure more to come, and I'm just curious- how do you store yours?

I currently only have 3, so I hang mine in the pantry. That way they don't get wrinkled, are easy to see, and easy to grab. My pantry isn't very large, so if I end up with more I will have to think of something new. Maybe they could be hanging layered up the pantry wall? A decorative bin would be cute.

I have 5 vintage half aprons, one I made. Eight bib/whole aprons.

I hung 3 of the vintage half aprons on a rope with clothespins for a valance for laundry room window. The bottom curtain is a red and cream vintage state of Texas luncheon table cloth. I like the kaleidoscope of color and pattern.

My favorite half apron hangs on panty door and the other one is folded with tea towels. The bib aprons hang on back of two doors in laundry room handy to the kitchen.

Sara, what an artistic way to use your aprons...as a curtain!!! Alas, I am very boring with my 5 aprons - they hang on a peg in my closet. Baking and aprons just go together, don't they!!! :-) Anne




Yes, in God I trust.

I have the same problem. I have a few special ones hanging out, like the cherries one I made that matches my kitchen and is trimmed from bows from a dress of my daughter when she was a baby, my favorite antique one, and the one MaryJane gave me. I also have a drawerful in my kitchen. I ended up finding a very cool, old wooden topped picnic basket from the 1940's. I found mine at Goodwill for $8. At flea markets and antique stores they go for much, much more. Anyway, they are large, breathable and decorative. So my overflow of aprons go in the large picnic basket. I switch out ones that are out of season like Halloween, etc. when I know I won't be wearing them a while The basket sits under a hall table in the hallway and looks adorable.

Farmgirl Hugs,
Nicole

I'm addicted to aprons too!! Mine all hang on my kitchen walls
Here's what my nephew made me for Christmas. It has a few more aprons on it now, but I still love it.


Here's what I used before that - jute and clothes pins


And here's some of my half aprons (there are no longer any empty hooks LOL)

I also love aprons and have collected for several years. I have maybe a 100.I hang them on my bakers rack in the kitchen. They remind me of my mom and grandma.

Farmgirl friends are fun.
