I don't but I really should as I am quite messy.

Yes, when I'm cooking, and usually a t-towel hanging out of the back pocket of my jeans.

I've just bought a couple of aprons, which I wear when cooking (and sometimes when eating.) Old ones wore out.
This thread reminds me of a weird phone call I had once, from a male person, asking how many aprons I had shock I played him along, saying I had lots, all different colours etc. trying to work out who it was. But I never discovered.
I found out later that another woman I knew had had the same phone call.

Only when I serve spaghetti as it always goes everywhere. Just have the one, a mock-up of Scottish highland dress as bought by Scots DH over 40 years ago.

I could not prepare food, cook, bake without one, although I don't wear one for cleaning. It is a habit inherited from my mother and grandmother. None of our 3DDs wear one, although my DDiL wears a white Prue Leith Cookery School full apron.

When I visit DDs, who all live in 3 different countries, I take an apron with me, or buy one there.

I do when baking, or cooking anything splashy or with oil as grease marks are so difficult to remove and take it off when cooking finished.. Not when doing general housework.

I have always worn an apron somehow feel unable to do anything in the kitchen without one on - The pockets are also very handy for bits and pieces that need rehoming together with empty sweet wrappers of course.

Don't own one and can't remember ever wearing one.

No I don't own an apron

I have very rarely worn an apron.

I suppose that with housework not being such a messy job these days and with clothes washing so easy it hardly seems necessary.

Never wore one in the first place...

When I'm washing up, preparing vegetables, baking, cooking or doing the house work, I wear an apron. However, neither my daughter or daughter in law wear them. I wear them so I don't get marks on my clothes, does that mean I'm messy ? Is the habit going out of fashion now like hair curlers , sponge mops and land line telephones.
