It’s been on our list for awhile to create a Chef Apron for Women, in a cut that is specific to them. Chef Aprons are traditionally a flat cut out shape that wraps around the body held in place by neck ties and waist ties. It’s a challenge to design a Classic Chef Apron for…
We see Aprons as the layer of clothing that relates to the work you are doing. The specific type of work determines the style of apron that you choose. Sometimes you just need something small just to carry things with you during chores or shopping. You may only need a simple pouch to hold your…
Introducing the Terry Cloth Apron. We hear over and over again the request for waterproof aprons. In the past, we have tried plastic gingham aprons and although they are waterproof, they were not a big seller. They weren’t particularly pretty. I don’t think you can move well in them. They served the purpose but only…
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…
