Wow...I only have 25. I rotate about 4 of my favorites for wearing every day. I have two new ones almost done too..one for me to wear and one for my etsy shop (a red gingham plus size 1940's type)

Gosh - you gals are surpassing me in so many ways! I just got a new apron on EBAY this week, and I have given three to my daughter, and that leaves me with about 12. And I thought that was extravagant! :)

| I have two. One of them I just finished sewing this past week, and the other a friend gave me the same day because she found out I didn't have any. Here are pictures of the one I just made: http://megs.wordpress.com/2006/09/23/picture-of-dress/ |

I think I might be able to top the weed catagory!
Only goes to figure that Miss Frannie would have so many.
Wonder how many our Queen Bee has?
I plan on making aprons for all the ladies at our family Thanksgiving. They will match their kitchen/personalily. So I will be making 6. Just came across a cute apron pattern for little girls that has a quilted bib front, quilted pocket and a hand towel sewn into the wasit. I plan on making a few of those, but as all the family girls are grow'd up, I will probably give them to the little girls at church.

I am going to chime in and say right now I have absolutely ZERO!! Isn't that aweful? I culled out the ones I had in a mad get rid of stuff craze but I have been using kitchen towels as half aprons (tucked into my skirt or pants). My children do this too and think it is fun.
But seeing all the beautiful aprons around here, I am inspired and now enabled to make some and go check out some on ebay!!

I have one that I got at a spinning weekend several years ago. It's a heavier work apron, not pretty like the ones I've seen on your webpages and in the magazine. I feel some inspiration coming on! Handstitching I love--machine sewing, well--if only my sewing machine and I were friends!

For someone who wear an apron everyday, I have suprisingly few..only 8.
