Aprons for my Etsy : :

Fall is here and with that cool weather, returns the need for a little warmth that only baking can bring! And so, I spent some time this past weekend making a few new aprons, this time for my etsy shop. I decided to make three different styles, inspired by each of my sister's : :  Bohemian, Vintage, and Modern ~ Catherine, Biz, and Angela.

This is my Bohemian apron --- With bright, colorful, and fun Anna Maria Horner and Alexander Henry fabrics, with vintage ric rac details, and extra long straps to tie at the front for a pretty detail or in the back, as well.

This center Alexander Henry fabric reminds me of how much I used to love painting with watercolors. A perfect apron for an artist, don't you think?

This is my Vintage inspired Apron --- With sweet yellow, orange, and gray fabrics, with vintage ric rac details,  yellow crocheted ball fringe along the hem line, and extra long straps that can be tied in the front...

or the back...

Here is a close-up of the crocheted details...my favorite part. Perfect for those of you, who like me, dance around in the kitchen while cooking.

This is my second Vintage inspired apron --- With cool blue, yellow, orange, and gray fabrics, with vintage ric rac details, a vintage doily pocket, and extra long straps to tie at the front or back.

Here is a close up of the fabrics and the subtle pleating I adding under the waste band.

The is my Modern half apron wrap --- With brightly colored damask, graphic, and large modern floral printed fabrics, designed to be a wrap style, with extra large straps that can be tied in the back or...

in the front as a bow or simple square knot for a modern look.

I have always been an apron wearer. I wear them in the kitchen, when I'm gardening, while I'm crafting with the kids, and often when I'm knitting with my wool --- since wool + black pants = not a good look. I always thought that if I were a teacher I'd wear a different apron each day of the week, so I had something to keep my chalk in and the students would have something to remember me by.

I'd love for you to let me know in the comments or stop over at my shop, have a look, and heart your favorite. I really enjoyed making these and would love to know what style is the most popular!

Wishing you all a beautiful day! ~ Maureen
