The goal was to reduce studio waste. we hoped to eliminate fabric scraps by designing new items that customers would want, that we could craft from our scrap pile. Potholders made sense. They would use and eliminate the smallest of the scraps and we do have a walking foot machine after all. We decided on…

We wanted a good working skirt in denim. Whether you are gardening, doing chores or just busy through the day, it made sense to offer an everyday skirt that would carry your things and wear easily but look flattering. Our customers loved the Hippy Dress and Apron so it seemed a good choice to start…
Our recent survey was amazing, overwhelming with information, feedback and customer desires. We are still processing the responses. One thing that glaringly stood out was that our men customers felt ignored. Yes, we had a men’s collection, it has plodded along nicely, but we learned that, in no uncertain terms, we were not stepping up….
There are so many limitations to being in business. When we enthusiastically introduce a new apron, obviously, it needs to be available to the customer base. It means suppliers are in place with ongoing fabric deliveries, it is a proven design that the customers like and patterns have been made for production. But sometimes, as…
It’s been on our list for awhile to create a Chef Apron for Women, in a cut that is specific to them. Chef Aprons are traditionally a flat cut out shape that wraps around the body held in place by neck ties and waist ties. It’s a challenge to design a Classic Chef Apron for…
Whenever we come up with a new Apron Design, like the Terrycloth Apron, we hope it sells, of course, but more importantly, we hope it finds its way into the arms of our customer’s everyday lives, helping them work, and making their day easier. After all, Aprons are the layer of clothing that relate to…
Our Hippy Apron is a favorite for us and it’s time has come to blossom, by morphing into another version of itself, what we will title the Hippy Dress. Our customers have requested a dress version for a long time and finally we could oblige. First, morphing a Hippy Apron design into a Hippy Dress…
We see Aprons as the layer of clothing that relates to the work you are doing. The specific type of work determines the style of apron that you choose. Sometimes you just need something small just to carry things with you during chores or shopping. You may only need a simple pouch to hold your…
We now sell Ironing Board Covers. Made in the same fabrics as our Aprons, we have added 9 of them to start. www.vermontapron.comhttps://www.vermontapron.com/collections/ironing-board-covers If they sell well, we will continue to make them in our Apron prints. We have matching clothespins bags coming for next weekend. When you purchase a cover, it will arrive flat…
Introducing the Terry Cloth Apron. We hear over and over again the request for waterproof aprons. In the past, we have tried plastic gingham aprons and although they are waterproof, they were not a big seller. They weren’t particularly pretty. I don’t think you can move well in them. They served the purpose but only…
The problem that I personally run into when I don’t blog, in like forever, is that WordPress updates all the time and becomes increasingly awesome. Although this should be amazingly wonderful, when I haven’t blogged in months, or a near year, the awesomeness has risen to a new incredible standard, without me following along. I…
