I am writing about our new design that we have named for lack of any other satisfying term, the Long Bib Apron. We took the basic apron form and carved into the typical flat rectangle apron shape to create a waistline. We also widened the skirt all the way around so that it travels into…
I don’t know why we didn’t think of it before. We have a page on the website devoted to white aprons. Theater people, reenactment people, and other lovers of our past embrace them mostly. But they so also serve those who look for a traditional apron, whether over a dress or jeans. If…
What is it about linen? I have a deep love affair with it. I love linen aprons. It is my perfect design companion as it flows beautifully into whatever shape I create. Even ridiculous shapes that will never hit the market, linen plays well with me and does its expected part to look beautiful, even…
It is the season of Lavender. I never knew there was a season for it but as we recently traveled to take some good pictures of the Linen Aprons, Lavender seemed to own the land. We found it tucked behind stone walls .. beautifully set under arching branches… We found it…
“I need a longer apron, I need to feel covered.” This was a common request in the beginning of our business and we responded by making very long skirts for our aprons. Our very first aprons had skirts that fell 30″ long. If you were a cook that passionately embraced your work and wanted no…
We love our ruffled pocket design. Although it’s very pretty to have a ruffle at the top of your pocket, there is a motive behind the design. Pockets take a beating from hands and items sliding in and out all day long. After a while the top edges of the pocket tend to start ripping away from…
How are people shopping? That is a question we study and watch for answers. And it’s pretty interesting as it is a changing, morphing moving target at all times. It’s like watching a group of people from a distance and asking yourself, what are they doing now? What are they about to do? And then…
White Aprons have been found to be classic choices to many people. Whether you choose a Half Apron, a Bib Apron or No Tie Apron, there is a very classic look to any of the designs when done in white. We recently replenished our White Apron Collection on the website. There is now a better batiste and we added…
Spring is upon us, soon to blanket us in warmth, sun and the sound of chirping birds. New plants will peek up their heads as well as enthusiastically sprawling weeds. Without looking at a calendar, I know it nears as the mark for me is that Gathering Aprons start heading out the door in growing numbers…
I struggle to toss out the scraps from the studio. I love a good scrap pile. After a long talk with myself about the meaning of the term, “self-discipline”, I now limit myself to only the big chunks. Big chunks are defined as big enough to get at least an apron skirt out of it….
Shouldn’t our videos be on our blog? I thought so. Especially since they can be tutorials as well. Being such a large file they won’t upload but I can link to our Utube. There is so much possibility here in the world of video making. We have only made a few but that was fun!…
No matter how much I love large graphic prints, our packages that head out into the world are filled with pretty florals. So pretty floral prints are what we seek when choosing new fabrics. And I have to admit, they keep me content. They bring the garden indoors, and in the winter keep us tightly…
