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…
We decided to pursue you. Men buy our Barn Apron. But we wondered what else you might want. We wondered what specific needs you had as compared to our female customer population. We asked you for input on our aprons. You were great at giving it and we loved the input. Here’s a sampling of…
We have a new apron design. We call it The Wrap Apron. We designed it around the concepts of loose and flowing, yet well fitted. Nearly a contradiction, I know. The concepts marry themselves in this design. It hangs comfortably and loose around your body yet stays in place with options to tie it around…
A regular size Gathering Apron uses the full width of the fabric. In order to create plus size, I need 50% more width. This means we either have to have a seam unattractively down one side of the apron body or we need a print that is the same horizontally and vertically, that way we…
Spring comes and we can finally crawl out of the studio and head into the gardens and yards around us. Here in Vermont, it takes a long while for the snow to melt but it always does, revealing green lawns and gardens sprinkled with first colors. For Northern Vermonters, we rarely see a crocus here…
It’s fun to dress for cooking. We dress for so many occasions, including work, it makes sense to dress for cooking. If you plan to bury yourself deep into an activity, preparation allows you to more fully embrace the occasion. Whether it be a day of canning, or a day of multiple lasagnas for freezing,…
Sometimes things go together very nicely. For instance, we introduce our Gathering Apron in Linen. There feels a historical connection between these two. Linen is one of the first fibers from which cloth was made. Aprons also share a deeply historical background dating back to ancient times. There is a safe assumption that our ancestral…
We have taken our popular No Ties Cross Back Apron and taken it further to create a new design to offer you. We introduce our new A-Line Apron. It is offered in all of our 9 sizes and 4 length choices. This is what we changed to bring you an additional Crossback No Ties design……
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…
