nearly caught out by a sneeze!

By some strange coincidence (or was it?!), as I was preparing some other photos to share on SFF, I sensed an unexpected and imminent sneeze. Without time to reach into the pocket of this vintage 1960s apron that I was still wearing from earlier housework and find my handkerchief, I had to improvise, raise the pale blue hem to my nose and sneeze onto it. Success: the spray was contained by the fabric, but there is now a section of my apron's hem that is much more disorderly and crumpled than shown in this photo

At the risk of disappointing anyone who likes mess (sorry!) - here's the area that caught the sneeze and was crumpled in the process
