As January draws to a close we will soon be wrapping up our apron survey. Thank you to all who participated in this survey. Your participation helps us to better determine the needs of our customers.

This month we asked you what types of aprons that you liked best and what types of aprons that you would like to see us carry more of. Your answers…..45% of you said that you would like to see more full size aprons and 36% said they would like to see vintage aprons. The other 19% combined asked for cobbler aprons, hostess aprons, and aprons with pockets.

This month, in response to your needs, we have added 3 new Kitchen aprons. We added 2 aprons to our “Kitchen and Curves” line. These aprons are full sized with a feminine scooped neckline and a curved ruffle across the bottom. We also added 1 apron to our basic Kitchen apron design, created with a great new bold floral fabric just in time for spring. And, we plan to continue to develop this apron category with fun new fabrics and variation in our designs. So, even though this survey has come to a close, please feel free to leave us feedback about other full size aprons you may like to see.

February…. will feature another apron survey to better evaluate what types of vintage aprons you are looking for. So be thinking of vintage apron styles or eras in time that you would like to see us represent in the apron world.

Thank you again for your participation. We look forward to serving all you apron needs.

The Amish apron is one of our best selling aprons. Many people love this apron design just for the simple fact that there are no strings to tie. The tank style top is designed to distribute the weight of the apron evenly across the shoulders, instead of pulling on the neck like most conventional aprons. The full skirt can be used to carry veggies in from the garden, swaddle a baby coming out of the bath, or just to wipe your hands on. It’s full gathered design also allows for ease of movement and fits nice on full figured woman.

We have also added an option for pockets to this popular apron. Two large pockets in the front of this apron make gathering up small toys, such as legos, pieces of trash or other small objects around the house much easier. No need to make many trips, just fill up your pockets. These pockets are also good for holding recipe cards and other items that you may need to keep close at hand.

 Aprons have been a part of our culture for hundreds of years. If you take a look back in history, you will see that aprons were used for many practical purposes and were worn by both men and woman. They were worn by blacksmiths, farmers, shopkeepers, and millers and used in daily chores like gathering eggs, working in the garden, cooking and cleaning. The main function of the apron was to protect the clothing and keep trade tools handy. Whatever you were doing on the farm or in your profession, the apron extended the number of days that an outfit could be worn before washing and extended the life of the clothing underneath. Most aprons were long and made of durable fabrics; some were even made of wool to protect women from burning when cooking over an open hearth. As the years progressed, apron styles began to change to meet the needs of the wearer. With the end of World War II came a boom of home entertainment and dinner parties. It was the “Leave it to Beaver” era, and moms were in the kitchen. Homemade pies and breads awaited hungry children almost every afternoon, and mom enjoyed her daily task of home management. The apron then took on a new look. It was no longer worn for just practical purposes; it was now worn for style. Aprons were soon known as the symbol of the homemaker, and every mother and hostess had one, if not several. There were hundreds of styles and colors, and most moms had fancy, decorative aprons to match outfits for special occasions. Then, almost overnight, the apron was gone. Not quite without a trace, but gone as far as the fashion industry was concerned. I have heard the apron called an icon of the past, so where did it go? With the dawn of the women’s liberation movement, more and more jobs became available to women, and women slowly began to leave their homes. There was no longer a need for feminine fashion statements that had such close ties to the home and hearth. There was no time to bake or entertain–no time at home to do many of the things women once enjoyed doing. Many of the homemaking skills like cooking, baking, sewing, and even cleaning were looked upon as drudgery. We hired maids, cooks, and childcare professionals to do our jobs for us, and the skills of the home manager were all but lost. Our young maidens no longer had moms at home to teach them how to be homemakers, so they, in turn, went off to work, too. You could say, “We’ve come a long way baby”, but I think we have been traveling in the wrong direction. However, I do not despair, for I see a change in the tides. There is hope on the horizon, because the apron is back! I know the apron by itself cannot help women reclaim their home and once again embrace motherhood. But, statistics show that sales of aprons are on the increase. If more women are buying aprons, that means more women are once again embracing God’s design and returning to the home–returning to raise their children, cook the meals, clean the house, be helpers to their husbands and managers of their homes, therefore having a need for functional, feminine aprons.
