Hi Nancy,

You're doing it for fun, not for research.

I've never really gotten into aprons; Mom used to wear them a lot. More
often I'd grab an old shirt I didn't mind getting messed up but they
didn't cover as much. That's probably why I started grabbing the apron I
made for Steve. (G)  I've a few "fancy" ones but have grabbed the
utilitarian one most often.
