Yes, just about always when cooking & cleaning up.   Have several-- for the seasons  and holidays.   Prefer the full-coverage style.   In the early (penny-pinching, tight budget) days even made some aprons and still use them.  Thank you for "thread" down memory lane.

Can one of you ladies Google my mothers apron poem, and paste it here?. I don't know how.

Mother's Apron

Mother wore an ample apron
to cover her clean dress.
She'd tell you that's what it was for
if you asked her, I would guess.

But that apron had more uses
than I could even count.
It brought in eggs and vegetables
and could hold a large amount.

I've seen her use that apron
to wipe her dripping brow
as she labored over the big range
that's just an antique now.

Her apron could bring giggles
in a game of peek-a-boo
with her newest, sweet grandbaby
as she hid her face from view.

When we kids were hurt or crying
we'd run to find her lap.
She'd wipe the falling tears away
with a bit of apron flap.

That apron dusted tables
and shooed away the flies.
It did just fine as oven mitts
to take out bubbling pies.

But the greatest of the treasures
that old apron could hold,
was the endless love from Mother
abiding in each fold.

Yes, always.  I also wash dishes and pans with an apron on.

Did the last Thanksgiving.

Footnote here!!! Get a long apron that is easy to get over someone's head, if you have a very senior person, who has trouble getting food to their mouth's. I wish I had thought of this when I needed this info. Honestly, it would have helped so much. If it has a pocket to catch peas or corn, crumbs, it'll help immensly. Just an FYI.

@StraytoStaySo sorry I din't get back to you.  You didn't @ me.  You can get aprons in any kitchen store as well as Walmart.

@ECBG thanks! I was open to anyone answering so I didn't do the @ I didn't reread through the 8 pages in this thread but I remember l asked of arm aprons. I have used old pajama tops as arm guards but wanted something nicer. I have only seen aprons for arms (so far I haven't searched enough) at Amazon but sold with regular aprons which I have, yet I could use a new one. My last was Lemon Hill sold here years ago.
