Crash Kitchen Aprons

1895

An excellent use for crash is in making kitchen aprons. We somehow have the idea if an apron is for the kitchen it must necessarily be of either dark gingham or calico or something wholly unattractive. As a matter of fact, a neat person will not wear a kitchen apron after it is soiled, and dark material keeps clean no longer than light. It only conceals its unclean condition longer. There is no reason, then, why a kitchen apron should not be attractive as well as useful, and any one who has once used for this purpose a fine, pretty piece of delicately checked linen crash will scarcely want to return to the ugly, dark aprons of former days. — Demorest's Magazine.
