I was floored when I went to visit The Front Room - Amy Quarry has managed to make beautiful, funky, AND practical aprons. She also make the MOST adorable bags, smocks, and caps. The first thing that struck me is how much they look like regular clothing, only to find out some of her first Aprons WERE made from old skirts. Beautiful AND eco-friendly - my kinda girl! Her Etsy shop “Sustainable Style” by Amy Quarry is full of the Aprons I would make if I had 36 hours in a day instead of only 24.  Her pictures are great too…I can’t wait to see what else Amy has up her sleeve!!

Not since June Cleaver ruled the housewife airwaves have Aprons been more popular. From vintage collectors, to retro-modern designers and creators of new Aprons, todays domestic diva can choose an Apron to fit any style…

One of my favorite modern Apronistas is Kelly McCants at Modern June. She creates adorable, practical Aprons that look good AND help you keep clean in the kitchen. I love this full Apron in a gorgeous oilcloth fabric!

I love all things whimsical. And there is nothing more whimsical that the Aprons Betty sells at the Snappyshop. Did I mention I love appliques? This bacon and egg apron has me over the moon! She also does squirrels, salads, and the cutest chicken!!

The Apron that I wear every day, and even out of the house sometimes, was inspired by this Apron by Liz Lamoreux. Big pockets, reversible, and cute funky fabrics. It’s perfect for putting all the little goodies that we all tend to accumulate during the day. And I have run to tht store in mine - it’s great for your keys, wallet, phone and grocery list!

And if you ever want to make your own Apron, you can’t go wrong with the new pattern from Meg at Montessori by Hand - It’s feminine, flattering, AND reversible!
