Women Wearing Old ApronOld fashioned aprons would probably have to mean something that is not new. Aprons that were worn by our ancestors and even in times before that. One thing is for certain, aprons have always been necessary as a means of keeping oneself clean and tidy during particular duties.

Old fashioned aprons were generally a lot bigger than they are today. They would have fancy ruffles and bows and extras on them that would make them appear more like a dress or full garment than just something to keep you clean! If you look for patterns for aprons for styles even from the 1950’s, you will find a large, rather flamboyant type of cover all, probably because back then, housework was much more readily done than it is today.

Modern conveniences like washing machines, and dishwashers have cut down considerably the amount of housework that needs to be done. For this reason, aprons are not quite as popular as they once were. Back in the 1950’s when housework took up a large part of the average housewife’s day, of course fashions would have been prevalent, along with other styles of clothing that one wears a lot.




Shoes for Boating - Basics of Boating Shoes

Thursday 3 April 2008 @ 7:39 am

Boating ShoesBoating shoes are known by most of us and would have seen them before, but most of us really dont know what they are and where they come from? Boat Shoes are often called by the shoe manufacturing companies as deck shoes or topsiders.

Boat Shoes Design probably originated with Native Americans. They used to wear moccasins that were made of a water-resistant form of leather, low profile, and lacing on the sides to keep them snug to the foot. In modern times, they originated as a shoe for use when boating.

These shoes were made to keep you from slipping on the wet boat deck. The leather top part of the shoe was treated with oils to keep the water out and the soles were made of a non-skidding rubber. The low profile of the shoe was so that you could take it on and off easily like a slipper or loafer. This made it easier to get on and off the boat quickly.
