The problem that I personally run into when I don’t blog, in like forever, is that WordPress updates all the time and becomes increasingly awesome. Although this should be amazingly wonderful, when I haven’t blogged in months, or a near year, the awesomeness has risen to a new incredible standard, without me following along. I…
What has Covid meant for us? Many things both good and bad actually. Suddenly supplies were not coming into ports. We had to buy up what fabric we could knowing that ships wouldn’t arrive with more for months. Guessing what you would or would not purchase was a gamble to say the least. We learned…

A gentleman wrote an email to me that began with the inquiry. “Why do only women get a No Tie Apron? Why can’t guys have one? It can’t be that difficult.” He wasn’t the only one, I received more inquiries that began the same. I was not only happy to respond but I really wanted…
We are launched. After years of an idea and good intentions. We have launched with our first three patterns. The behind the scenes work has been more extensive than I ever imagined but that work is now complete. Now it’s only the fun part. Apron Patterns that are not used for Vermont Apron Company have…

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…
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…
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…
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…
I know a lot of you have asked for patterns. We have confirmed that we are, in fact, planning to offer a second website with patterns in a digital download format. (not our current patterns but the dozens of unmarketed designs and previous designs). I just wanted to post an update. We have started the…
