A beautiful apron can put the spring in the step of any host or hostess. Decades of Fashion in the Upper Haight has a splendid selection of mint-condition oldies-but-goodies in a variety of styles and patterns, perfect for your barbecue king or queen.
Oilcloth is a summery item with multiple uses, and it’s waterproof! Featuring colorful vintage prints, it makes a great tablecloth, place mat or apron. Mendel’s and Fabric Outlet have superb selections.
