WHY NO APRONS??

Perkup — Sat, 20 May 2017 16:57:44 GMT

QVC's kitchen shows always show the host with an apron of some sort. I look often in the B&M stores for a good coverage apron like the ones on the kitchen shows, but don't seem to find anything.

Today (on Q2) the host is wearing a pretty floral apron. I would love to find something like this on QVC, but nothing. I would like to have more than one in either different colors or patterns. Tired of having to chase down a towel or wipe my hands on my jeans. I know that at one time QVC offered ITKWD aprons, but I don't want that and didn't buy. I just want something plain, pretty and washable.

Have you tried BB&B? They usually have them.

I'd google chef's aprons. You probably have some kitchen supply store in your location.

I have several but I can't remember where or why I have them. Probably picked them up when I saw them somewhere. I usually keep a towel on my shoulder to wipe my hands. I forget it's there until DH wants to wipe his hands and has to find me. LOL

You might try some of the cookware or cooking websites, Vermont Country Store, Cracker Barrel, or Lovelass Cafe. A lot of websites that sell kitchen stuff or food will have their own aprons. Amazon may be good for solid whites or colors, or some with different pockets.

Crate and Barrel and Sur La Table would probably also have a selection of chef's aprons.

I am also a towel over the shoulder kind of cook, so I don't personally wear an apron

I personally do not wear aprons but I have purchased them as gifts at Sur La Table. They have a good selection in the stores so you could check on-line.

Thanks. I'll try some of your suggestions. I don't shop around a lot, and seldom frequent the many B&M stores around me. I don't drive a lot anymore - not restricted. I just know that if there should be an accident, my age would probably point toward my being responsible. I will check Amazon though. I just like the good coverage that the aprons on the Q have and don't understand why they are missing this opportunity for sales.

I always see aprons at a local resale shop. I've been making my own for years.

I've been trying to find oven mitts without silicone on the palm of the mitt. The previous mitts I had would crack in less than a year. I guess I'll have to start making mitts too.

I would love an apron in Temp-tation patterns and colors.

Aprons are cute, I just never have worn them.

Todays young women are totally unfamiliar with aprons. My mom gave her two granddaughters Christmas aprons one year thinking they enjoy something festive as they prepared the feast. They pretty much ridiculed them; mom was very hurt. I could have smacked them both.

I always save my old quilted mattress pads and make potholders/mitts out of them.

Aprons sure save on the amount of laundry you have to do.

I never thought about it. Two ladies, sisters I think, make aprons and sell them at the Farmer's Market in out town. I've bought them for gifts over the years and I have two myself. I've been known to use one of hubby's old shirts as an apron too.

I would imagine that aprons would not only be a pretty narrow market, as you need to sell at least tens of thousands of any given item to pay for presenting it with the costs associated with doing live tv, but also a fairly low profit margin type of item.

i recently picked up some cute ones at THE FRESH MARKET......it has a garden tomato on it and it says "FEELIN GOOD FROM MY HEAD TO MAH TOES." lol

i have also found some nice ones on ETSY.

a few years ago isaac mizrahi had some on qvc. they were a cute print and came in a recipe box that matched. i bought several of them, including one for myself, to give as teacher gifts.

Some of the nicer markets carry nice aprons. I just thumbed through a selection today at the newly remodeled store near me.

@Perkup

You obviously haven't checked Ebay. I just did a search with the word Apron, All Categories, and there are over 54,000 active auctions. I bet you could get some really nice ones for a song!
