I have a wrap around blue denim apron that i've had for almost 30 years. Even the grandkids know that when the apron comes out of the drawer some serious baking, canning or major meal preparation is about to happen!

I love your aprons --- and hope that someone is still wearing and appreciating them 30 years from now !!!

I love them all. My favorite one is the black and yellow one, however, the one with the striped fabric is pretty awesome too.

Very, very nice aprons, and so well made! I remember as a child seeing aprons more commonly worn, but laundry wasn't done as often then as it today, so aprons kept the women's dresses clean longer, and made for less laundry.

I love the blue one with the vertical stripes. How often does a woman find a garment with vertical stripes and of all the places to look thin, it should be in the kitchen!!!!! They are darling. I love aprons! Edie

I must be a grandma -- I've taken to wearing an apron when I'm in the kitchen. I think they are making a comeback! You've made some nice ones -- I like your color combinations.

Your aprons are just darling! I wear them all the time for cooking and cleaning. First thing I was taught to do learning to cook was to wash my hands and put on an apron! I wear them so much, the kids accuse me of wearing like a dress. But they do save my clothes and definitely get me in the "mood" to work!
