Program Description

Event Details

A nostalgic look at the apron plus the fabrics, styles, and the many different ways they were used by the people from our past.

Presenter, Sheila Craig is a grandmother with a collection of aprons.  Take a nostalgic look at the apron in an interactive, hands-on program (if you want -- you can touch and feel the fabric). The program will look at the fabrics and trims, the styles and uses of aprons. Don’t leave out the men – she has examples for them too.

You will have the opportunity to see about 100 of her 400-collection of aprons. What member of your family wore an apron? Was it for a special job, or around kitchen? Come and reminisce about your families’ connection to an apron!
