Angel Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Thank you so much for the link cooperlola, but I was thinking of a shop in town, maybe one of the big supermarkets ect......If I am unable to find a shop then I shall use the link that you provided. Thank you once again for your reply. Most kind....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 There's a workwear shop in LimogesThat's the only one with a website which came up in Pages Jaunes. The only one in the Creuse which came up was:Berthias Georges Activité : vêtements de travail, professionnels13 pl Champ de Foire 23160 SAINT SEBASTIEN 05 55 63 50 82AAs daft as it sounds, I think these are now a bit of a specialist garment but I could be wrong.

Russethouse Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 If all else fails I guess you could make one in les than an hour with a machine, bit longer if you don't have one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Ikea sell white aprons similar to the one in the link picture but as RH said you could make one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 I don't really like sewing, but for thanks for the suggestions girls. Very thoughtful of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I don't like sewing either but if you are stuck its a very quick and easy project - it must be, making an apron was our first sewing project at school at age 11 [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I have looked at your website, are you selling or have you just bought the moulin? it looks lovely but I am confused.[8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About as likely as my nipping up on my roof to re-align my satelite dish (as the congnoscenti on the telly board so often advise.)[:-))][:)]EDIT : I see that Sweets understands me.

Russethouse Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Oh go on......its a challenge - a bit of logic a needle and thread and there you go...sewing machine would help but not essential.......I'd offer but I'm trying to resurrect my knitting skills at present - anyone got any easy baby patterns?

JeanS Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 RH - maybe you went to the same school as me - we made aprons plus caps.Good luck with the knitting- I'm thinking the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperlola Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 [quote user="sweet 17"]Cendrillon, I'm afraid you're just plain unnatural![:D][/quote][:)]Funny how I have a strong alergic reaction to any job classified as "women's work." R/H, the mere fact that you have any knitting skills to resurrect just proves my point. What to one person is a doddle, to the next is as easy as climbing everest (not to mention supremely boring).

What I need to polish up is things like picking up stitches round a neckband or button band.....not my favorite thing.....All joking apart, surely there is a catering or workwear supplier where an apron is available ?

Hopefully they will cough up what she wants. I expect she's lost the will to live by now though...[:)][Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Nah, she is busy choosing colours for her restaurant [:)]........interestingly I just have just read that Michel Roux jnr would not open a restaurant in France because enterprise is not encouraged enough - good luck Angel.........
