I have been asked why people put pockets on aprons....
My experience is that MOST, not all, people
prefer them.
I love the design factor...
It's fun to put buttons, bows, contrasting fabrics, or ribbon on them.
You can create a focal point.
It can be symmetrical or asymetrical.
I think they add a spot of cuteness.
But even more, it is so nice to have a place to drop your phone, or your rings..
In the case of teacher aprons, so nice to have a place to stash cash, popsicle sticks, flash cards, small manipulatives, keys, whistle, etc.
BTW: I have the fabrics and have begun some teacher aprons!
I am sure there are other things one could use them for. But for me, those are the main reasons.
Thoughts?
I love having pockets on my aprons. I keep my phone in there while I'm cooking. Plus they're cute!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great place for a phone! And I agree...cuteness matters to some degree - puts a smile on your face. I wonder if there is a difference between "cutesy" and "cute?" I have seen some over the top...ones that are more like costumes, with stuff that would just get in the way for me.
