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…
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…
Sometimes I forget that the main reason for our blog here is to report news and product changes. It’s not the funner (is that a word?) reason we do this. But we set this blog up to share news and customers do come here for that reason. Thank you! And there’s a lot lately so…
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…

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…

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…
