This apron was the class project for Home Ec in the 7th grade. That means I've been toting it around for three decades now. Do I need an apron? No. I just wear old tee shirts and old jeans if I expect to make a mess cooking. Do I, in fact, own another apron? Why yes, I do. I don't actually use that one, either, because it is "too nice," but perhaps I can get over that. You can see it wadded up in the lower left portion of the photo, btw.
Although this was my very first ever real sewing project, sewing has never been a major part of my life, and I have no reason to get sentimental about it. I have also held on to another project, from a year or two later - a very nice wool skirt with pockets and a zipper. It is as good as anything from a store, and still fits me (three decades later!) so I'm keeping that as my memory of middle school sewing class. (Thanks, Mrs. Holm!)
It's a toss because I washed it, and it still has a small stain, and I can't imagine it having any value, even at a thrift shop. I could probably compost it, but I think I need it gone.
