So, it's probably good to change OUT of the church clothes BEFORE soaping....

 

[Misschief]

Umm... yup. Or, invest in a good apron.

Yup if you do not want to buy new church clothes.

Hmmm.... That would be one way of getting a new dress ...

I do have my eye on an apron. It's one I've seen the chefs wear on Bon Appetit. But the price is beyond what I want to pay.

I always wear an apron. I have four of them at the moment... but looking at that pattern you shared, I need someone to make me a fifth!

I have so many aprons - I think 21 was the last count. Do you think I wear aprons when soaping??? LOL
I never even think about it until it's too late.

I'm typically pretty good about not getting oils/soaping debris on me, but it'd be the one time I was wearing something that I truly didnt' want to ruin that it would happen, so I always either wear clothes it doesn't matter, or my specific soaping clothes.

I have ruined some sweatshirts with lye but the oils are no problem just spray with carb spray and throw in the wash. an apron wouldnt be a bad idea though

 

[jcandleattic]

an apron would be a bad idea though

Why would an apron be a bad idea? Many soapers wear them to save their clothing. I would if I could ever remember...

What a cute apron! Wish I had a sewing machine.

Cross back aprons saved my neck when I was a cook and spending long hours over a cutting board. They can be a bit more expensive to buy, but the ones I bought online are much sturdier than the basic loop aprons restaurants will give their employees. And they just feel that little bit cuter, don't they? I like the look of that pattern. I have a machine (well, my partner does), but I think even I could handsew that in an evening. The big wide straps look very boho, and probably solve my dilemma I was about to bring up about aprons: how do you wash them in top-loaders without the dang straps getting stuck under/around the agitator? Do I need to bite the bullet and get one of those mesh bags for delicates in the washer?

Mine never get stuck and I just have the basic apron with a loop neck and long strings tied at the back.
