I wear the apron when I do my "walk through the catalog" parties. I keep the candies in the pockets. When I do other shows without the Have It! Love It! Game, I often don't wear it. I'm always in a PC shirt, so I feel like I'm in my PC uniform already.

Yea...I forgot to mention that I am ALWAYS in a PC shirt, too! So, even if my apron is folded down, they can still see my PC logo!

My director is a little crafty and she takes a tool belt and somehow sews our seasonal kitchen towel to the tool belt and she uses that as her apron. It has pockets so that she can put stuff in it and she loves it cause she can just tie it around her hips and not have to wear that big apron. They are always so cute, but I am not that crafty myself.

Are you talking about one of those cream colored tool "aprons" that are just big pockets? I am intrigued! That sounds like a great idea!

Ok I think I have decided to scrap the Apron or maybe just fold it in half. I did really well without it. I didn't even notice/catch myself wiping my hands on my clothes either . So NO more Apron for me!!!!

I used my lilac dots towel to do this. I just folded it over (approx) 2" lenghtwise and sewed it , cut my lilac ribbon from (my ribbon tote) in half and sewed a piece to each end. Its adorable.

Maybe someday I'll use the green one to make pockets when I am feeling crafty.

Because I also "HATE HATE HATE" the denim one :)
