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…
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…
We love developing new apron designs. We come up with an idea, try it out by letting it go out to the customers, then we sit back and wait and see. When customers let us know they like it and it suits their needs, we add it to the permanent collection. As time passes, if…
It’s been lovely to sell soft drapey aprons to people who want to work and feel comfortable all day. Our aprons flow gently around you, move as you do and lay softly against you allowing you the ease of your day. They accompany you as you work, accenting your clothes in a way that helps…
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…
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…
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…
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…
There are so many choices available to us for pockets. First you have placement; front ones, side ones, chest ones, butt pockets,and so many more. Then you have style; flat, ruffled, gathered, pleated, well I could go on for a very long while with choices. Let’s talk about the basics that we, here at Vermont…
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…
This is one of my favorite designs. I just love it. I love looking at it. I love wearing it. It feels graceful and soft. And what I have learned, as it was pointed out to me recently, is how I rarely design in straight lines. I never thought about it but when I look…
We find that once a customer discovers just the right fit and length of an apron, they then move forward regarding prints. Customers like to see prints for different seasons and holidays. Holiday Aprons are a must for a lot of apron wearers. Aside from canning season, holidays are probably second in kitchen baking and…
