I have one that MIL gave me. I always forget I have it. It's not a very comfy apron.

I have some for the kitchen that get worn once in a while. But the ones for the craft room get worn a bunch. There are times when it really gets messy in there. I will generally only wear full aprons as my tops are what I want to protect.

No. I don't cook and no longer bake so I don't really need one.

I have one but don't use it. I think I have it for a Halloween costume as a little old lady.

Yes. I have an apron. It has my name embroidered on it. I hardly ever wear it as I forget.

Yes I have a couple. I wear one when baking. I rarely fry anything, except eggs maybe I don't usually bother then.

I have several, and wear them often.
I go through phases...wear them, wear them not, wear them.....however, I change out of my work clothes when I come home so that I don't mess up my work clothes.

I have numerous, but often forget to put one on. I have one with front snaps that I wear when I decorate a cake.
All the others, my mom sewed. The fancy, "for dress," aprons, I gave to a friend who is involved in community theatre. She loves them.
Some of her creations (aprons with the ties in the back), I gave to people who knew her. The others, I have.

I have a few but I rarely wear them. I cook a lot so really I should cover up but I don’t particularly like any of them. Maybe I should rectify that at some point.

Yes I have 2 aprons. One for cooking and baking (I’m a very messy cook!) and one for painting and decorating (I’m a very messy painter!).

I have one waist apron that was a gift (never worn), and 2 white chef's aprons that we got on a Thai cooking course DH and I both did on holiday once. They've been worn about twice since, and only for crafting. So no. I should, but I don't. My Mum wears hers for washing up, but she manages to flood her kitchen every time. I've had a dishwasher for 6 years now but even before that I never made the mess that she makes.

ETA: I just read Compwalla's apron pattern. I'm no sewer, but I read that pattern right to the end and smiled all through. She had such a way with words.

I have four or five. My favourite is a fifties housewife style one my US friend bought me. If I’m at home I almost always have a pinnie on (not sure if an apron is a pinnie everywhere or if that's a Scots thing). I like keeping my clothes clean, and I like having a big pocket on me all the time. I wear a different one for cleaning bathrooms, which then goes straight in the wash.
All my pinnies are long knee length, except my gardening one, which is a short length, waterproof bib one with pockets for keeping small gardening tools in.

No, but come to think of it, I should. I eat like a freakin' two year old and I can NOT brush my teeth without toothpaste stains. Don't even get me started on cooking.

I do! I wear it occasionally. It's a boring black, so I'm thinking of making a cute one.
My dd has one, as well. I made hers several years ago using Compwalla's pattern. She always wears it while baking.

We have some in the kitchen. I wish I had paid attention to Compwalla's aprons and purchased one. Here's a link to an Instructables lesson on how to make an apron by Virginia. Compwalla ApronShe has 4 how to lessons on there. I remembered after she had passed away that she had done a few of these. It was fun to read the shopping bag (the thing I was looking for) instructions. Her sense of humor really shows in the writing of the instructions. Also, to answer the OP's question, I do have several aprons, I just never remember to put them on. Although I do try to remember when I am frying stuff, I've had to get rid of to many tee shirts because of grease spots. ETA: I hadn't read the whole thread before I posted her link, I see that someone beat me to it. I'll leave it here anyway in case someone else doesn't see the first one.

Yes, I made one using Japanese fabric following Compwalla’s tutorial:) I used to teach sugar cookie decorating classes and I wore it then. I don’t tend to wear an apron for everyday cooking.

I have two ... one is from a winery that says "Dinner Is Poured" and the other has a cat on it (I love cats) that is from Harrod's in London ... I wear both all the time because I'm a messy cook I actually have a new one coming soon in the mail that is the Fiesta brand ... it is the three colours of my Fiesta dishes and placemats

I have a couple, but I only wear them for super messy cooking. They're heavy canvas, and I don't like the feel of them.
Thank you all for posting Compwalla's instructions. I enjoyed reading them. Next project: lighter weight pretty-colored apron! Her instructions are so clear and funny. Her voice always shines through in her writing.

No, but come to think of it, I should. I eat like a freakin' two year old and I can NOT brush my teeth without toothpaste stains. Don't even get me started on cooking. I have the same issues with eating and brushing my teeth. I hold up a hand towel like a bib when I brush. I have 2 aprons. One is a really pretty one DD bought me. I wore it at Thanksgiving while cooking, so I wouldn't get my nice clothes full of food.

I have a couple. I rarely wear it unless it's a big holiday when I'm going to be in the kitchen all day. I usually change into my "grungy clothes" (leggings or sweats and an old soft T-shirt) as soon as I get home from work, so I don't worry too much about staining.

I have three. One was a wedding present and has facts about wine on it. One is a semi costume of a Revolutionary War soldier? that was my late husband's. The third is from my former mother-in-law ( I adored her) and I wear that on holidays. My daughter used it as a prop in a play. Her grandmother would have loved that!!!
