I have to admit that I don't wear aprons all the time, but it's handy to have a couple around for when you fry food or cook sauce that might bubble and spit at you. The great thing is that there are loads of options that let you preserve your style, especially if you're cooking in front of guests, without sacrificing the function you need and want when you wear an apron. Aprons are sold at many home goods stores, but they are pretty easy to sew too, so you can use a simple pattern and make your own. Here are some that I know will inspire you to try some new recipes today.
