I wondered if you might want to see what goes on in the background of one of our photoshoots, I thought it would be fun to share a bit of our experience. Here’s a fun look behind the scenes. When you like to photograph outside, this means our glamorous models are often getting dressed out of the back of a…
Olive & Grey
The title sounds like a proper name for a blog or new design company. It isn’ t, although I now I am tempted to set off on a new venture based on this exquisite name. I digress. The real subject here is linen colors. We have added both Olive and Charcoal Grey. Time tested, beloved and proven by their everlasting…
The Gathered Bib Apron moves Forward
Our Gathered Bib Apron has a bodice that gathers on a drawstring. It ties behind the neck. The option of a gathered bodice is great for a variety of body shapes. No matter your size, the bodice adjusts to you and covers you. With a wide waistband that that holds the apron in place, it also gives additional shape to…
The Awesomeness of Design Detail
Moving to the next apron design is driven by a number of factors. Oh sure there is pure organic inspiration. Although this is typically my favorite method, it can bring remarks from coworkers of “Seriously?” “You are kidding right?” I remain undaunted amongst them as there are other times when coworkers response with “Wow, why weren’t we doing that years…
Our Gathering Apron moves up.
Aprons are essentially work clothes. Their job is not only to keep you clean but to help you do your job. They should carry your things in such a way as to not impede your ability to act. Not sure what I mean? Take our first Drawstring Gathering Apron. We were thrilled to make it enormous. We wanted to be…

Lets talk Gathering Aprons
Over the course of our business, we have designed two styles of Gathering Aprons. Although they are both considered Gathering Aprons, they are distinctively different. Our first one entitled, Gathering Apron, is essentially a single, large drawstring bag attached to a waistband. The bag opens and closes at your will. It is one contained space inside, the same as any…
Carpet Bags
Long ago and not far away, a woman (me) started a business for supplemental income. It turned out to be a pretty good business and served its purpose. The main item was a Carpet Bag she had designed for herself to get her thru college. It had a padded strap for comfort sewn all the way down the bag…
Update on our Website for Sewing Patterns
Here’s what I have learned so far about creating a website for sewing patterns. The legal piece is larger than I ever imagined and this has caused our project to take months longer than I wanted. I wanted to be up and running 5 minutes after I came up with the idea. I’m a Make-a-decision-and-then-lets-do-it person. But there is a…
Maternity Aprons
Customers request maternity aprons. Although we have not been selling anything specific to maternity, we often recommend that the customer purchase a No Tie Apron as we make the assumption that its roomy design will flatter and fit throughout pregnancy. Like I said, we make the assumption. We are unable to conclude anything even after years of advice as no…
