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 worked hard to design Gathering aprons that hold a lot of produce. Our Drawstring Gathering Apron holds at least a gallon of goods if not a few gallons. Have we officially measured? I bet it’s three gallons.We have also sold them to knitters who knit from the yarn held within the apron and quilters…
Children’s Aprons are Here! Because people have requested…a lot…all the time…we are offering Children’s Aprons once again. We have begun the collection with two styles; our Ruffled Gathering Apron and our No Ties Apron. Both are being offered in Navy and Black Denim. Let me add a caveat. I know that people want cute and adorable for their…
Free from the constraints of any strategic plan, free from the contraints of my fabric lists, free from coworkers suggesting, or prophesying, I played. And I played alone with great fabric I bought last fall and couldn’t wait to get my hands on. Sometimes I pull out fabric and wonder why the heck did I…
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….
The worse thing anyone can do to me is provide me with a source of amazing fabric. (Ok, that isn’t exactly the worse thing you can do, but you know what I mean, lol). With incredible fabrics I lose all sense of myself. And even though I am committed to designing aprons for a living,…
