Take a look at this apron I found at a second hand store in my local city. The red and white gingham pattern matches the color scheme of my kitchen perfectly, so I snatched it up instantly. Don't you just love the use of blue, red, and white rick rack to decorate the borders and pockets?
What has me scratching my head is a set of buttons on the shoulder straps which I swear are made of pressed paper and embossed with a pattern.
Should I risk throwing these into my washing machine or will they turn into pulp?

You could remove the buttons, wash the apron and then sew the buttons on again ;)
ReplyDelete@Anne Toft Ah, now this whole post just makes me look lazy, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteThese sort of buttons were also used on field uniforms, so I imagine they must have been made to withstand some sort of water resistance. Whether they are capable for extended full immersion is another story...
