Do you wear a pinny?

I only wear an apron on one day of the year, on Christmas Day when I am dressed ready to greet my guests.

I do all my food preparations in my casual clobber in the morning, then shower , make-up, hair and dress.

Pinny then donned to protect me until I sit to the table.

I’ ll wear a pinny to protect my clothes when cooking and always for baking. It depends on which clothes I have on and how messy the cooking- yesterday I was wearing a dressy top that was a gift ( and may be difficult to wash) so on went the pinny. If I was wearing old washable clothes I would only don a pinny for baking.

I wear an apron when cooking and baking as I'm very messy and tend to have flour bedecked boobs otherwise

The same here, it is not the best look when answering the door either.
Always wear where bleach is concerned, it is so easy not to notice a tiny splash on clothes.
I have four aprons, and now we are talking of them would like a Christmassy one.

I have worn mine since I got a tiny splash of bleach on a new, and expensive, plain coloured dress.

Never owned or worn one since I left school.

Yes, when I am cooking or baking. I am a messy cook and it has saved many of my clothes from greasy or oily stains.

I have some full pinafore type of aprons, one is a flowery Cath Kidson one, one is green stripes, one is a plain burgundy one.
Depending on how messy the recipe is depends on which one I wear. I don’t like chilli sauce on the flowery one.
I don’t wear them for anything other than cooking, they were all gifts from the children as they noticed the flour/oils splashes on me!

Wear aprons, but not pinny's.

Like others, I am a messy person and i have a whole wardrobe of them.The one I put on for cooking, one for cleaning, worn far less and I have a custom made one for the garden.

It was made by DD and is in three layers with a waterproof layer in the middle and a whole series of different size pockets scattered down the front so that opened and empty seed packets can go in separate pockets, ties in another and secateurs in a third. very useful.

Yes, always and also when doing art. It’s saved many a grease mark or bleach splash on my clothes 😊

I do and they have to have a large pocket so I have pen and notebook to hand.

BigBertha1 Sun 30-Oct-22 05:44:14

Yes I do it's a Sophie Alport Trees at the moment. For Christmas I bought Bubbles and Fizz last year I shall wear that. I have blue and white striped one too.

I do, in the kitchen and while cleaning. I save my older ones with stains for cleaning the bathroom. I've ruined many clothes with bleach stains while scrubbing the tub.

Just the other day I took my apron off too early, and managed to get an oil stain on a nice sweater while prepping for book group. Had a blob of oil right in the middle of my chest.

When I’m working in the kitchen I do. Especially when I’m baking, but for other jobs too.

Granddaughter, 2, saw mine and asked - Whazzat? Bib?

Razzamatazz Sat 29-Oct-22 23:24:00

I've asked for one for Christmas.

nadateturbe Sat 29-Oct-22 23:15:20

I don't wear it all day, but yes I have several. I wear them if I'm doing housework or baking and also when painting. Not always, sometimes I wear old joggers and tops.
It makes sense to me. No point in spoiling good clothes. My husband wears one in the kitchen.

harrigran Sat 29-Oct-22 23:07:30

Yes I do, I wear my son's woodwork aprons from the 1980s.
They are strong twill and can be boil washed.

BlueBelle Sat 29-Oct-22 23:06:19

No never owned one and never worn one well maybe at school
Perhaos I don’t need one as I cook as little as possible

aggie Sat 29-Oct-22 23:00:00

I wear one for art class , its very necessary

Nanagem Sat 29-Oct-22 22:52:53

If you saw the mess I make cooking you wouldn’t ask 😂😂

silverlining48 Sat 29-Oct-22 22:40:27

Always, we have a selection as they get very messy so need regular washing.

mrsgreenfingers56 Sat 29-Oct-22 22:29:34

Yes, I do when baking and cooking, especially baking. Saves your clothes with flour and grease.

MawtheMerrier Sat 29-Oct-22 22:27:37

Apron or pinafore (the sort that covers your top half as well) hence “pinny”

Redhead56 Sat 29-Oct-22 22:24:02

I wear one only when baking I don't like flour on my clothes.
