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 call this reflections Day. It’s the last day of the year. I tend to sit back and reflectively assess how I did in 2017. Although there could be a host of issues, I like to dive into the areas of improvement, especially the ones that implore me with a enticing journey. Last year we…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
