  Special: order any two aprons
and get free shipping

Pull up a chair and help yourself to some tea and scones..... 

Here is part of my collection of hand crafted aprons.  These have been expertly reproduced using original vintage patterns from the 1940's, 50's and 60's and consist of fabrics and trim remniscent of that era.  Along with each apron purchased, you will receive a matching potholder and sachet (unless you choose otherwise).  How about ordering a matching apron for your daughter(s)?  Nothing like bringing your girls into the kitchen with you to learn and bond!

Some of the aprons shown below have been sold but I will recreate them with the same fabric or any other fabric you may prefer.

This is your opportunity
to have a totally unique keepsake apron!

Let me show you an apron I fashioned after one that was my Grandma's.  The "Lillyn" apron is named for my maternal Grandmother "Lil" who is fondly remembered for her scrumptious Sunday dinners, prim attire and sparkling house (which will always bring memories of the sawdust aroma from the basement furnace). This one size apron is created from a 1960s style pattern of cotton/poly blend of periwinkle blue with white dots that is wrinkle resistant. It's outstanding feature is the crisp contrast of colors and delicate lace trim. Lillyn Periwinkle $25 including shipping.

1950s Hostess apron "Eileen"
This style is named after my Mom who was not only a meticulous housekeeper but a great mom and a friend to all.  I decided to make this one with muslin which retains a "wrinkled texture" imparting an earthy flavor.  Its hem has a 4" trim of sunflowers and brick red bias around the pocket.  It should be cold/gentle cycle washed, dried on low setting dry to come out just as wrinkly!
 
 Eileen $25 including shipping.

1960s Hostess apron "June Cleaver"

1970s Hostess apron "Rita"
