Aprons




So many women have an aversion to aprons, recoil at the idea of them in fact. I think it is because they fear that donning an apron would turn them into Donna Reed or a Stepford Wife.




In fact, aprons are making a big comeback, and they don’t just belong in the kitchen anymore! Whoever has found their spaghetti sauce suddenly erupting like Vesuvius, or opened a rocket disguised as a bottle of seltzer will want one, but aprons are needed everywhere accidents happen! Drivers who drink latte on the road need not worry so about potholes with a pretty apron in the car…keep one at your desk at work and you may be able to go into the afternoon’s meetings without vinaigrette on your silk blouse! Whether housekeeping, petkeeping, gardening or baby tending the protection of an apron shouldn’t be missed, that’s why After All aprons are so attractive you can where them anywhere.




One of my most distinct memories of childhood is that of a little apron I was given, so I enjoy making aprons for children, too. Girls aprons which are sweet and feminine, and gender neutral aprons for the child who wants to help cook, assist with the housework, or whose artistic temperment is apt to leave paste and paint splashes here and there.




This year's line will offer more variations in styles in women's aprons, more aprons for men, gardening aprons, and aprons designed for craft show/farmer's market/flea market vendors.
