Aprons. ย Aprons. ย ApronsApronsAprons!
We made aprons. ย We bought the fabric. ย We cut the patterns. ย We sewed and stitched and sewed and stitched and sewed and stitched about a million (ok… just fifty) ย times over. ย Maybe ‘we’ is a bit too liberal. ย My darling and most talented mother made each and every one of these aprons. ย Where I can work wonders with a spatula, she can work wonders with a sewing machine. ย Please don’t make me sew anything… I just make myself bleed. ย
So here’s the plan. ย I want you to have fun in the kitchen making Cream Cheese Cinnamon Rolls or whipping up a batch of Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes. ย I also want you to look cute, and feel pretty, and not be afraid to get in there and get some bakin’ done… even if that means dirtying every single dish and emerging from the kitchen covered in flour. ย Do it! ย I think a fun little apron might help. ย
For you pleasure, I’ve even made an Etsy store to showcase Joy the Baker Aprons. ย Sweeeeet! ย
All aprons are 100% cotton, one size fits darn near everyone… and bonus: ย each apron comes nicely wrapped for your gift giving pleasure. ย Supplies are limited. ย The fabric is flying.
ย
My Mom took this picture with my cellphone. ย See? ย Proof of cuteness. ย Aaaaand… go!

Ahhhhhh, these are adorable. Are you making any to sell during the holiday season? If so, I think I know what I’m asking for for Christmas… other than Justin Bieber’s new album, of course!
Wow!!! That’s all I got. Oh yea, the apron is nice too. Do you personally deliver them?
No Matt. No personal delivery… that seems creepy, don’t you think?
No Joy, not creepy, just marketing genius. I’m thinking “value add”. Oooo, maybe delivery could come with a baking lesson…just sayin.
I see Matt. A baking lesson. I like the way you think.
Rec’d my apron 4 days after ordering! Unfortunately it is a gift for my Mom and the wrapping so cute, I refused to open. Can’t wait to see it!
Thanks so much for your prompt response!

You look about the same as me so i was jw, im 5’1 120 lbs and a cancer with a taurus moon ;)
These are precious! I want one!
I am an avid apron lover and these are SOOOOO cute! Great job! :)
Those are so cute! Your mum is amazing :)
I just got your fab apron in my mail yesterday and can’t wait to bake something using it to give me luck. ;-)
those are so super cute, you should make skirts!! i might have to wear one as a skirt!
I’m so going to order one!
So darling! I am totally crazy for aprons! You should talk to Julia and Suzi over at The Apron Goddesses about your aprons!
Your mother is very talented! Too cute!
these are adorable! I don’t actually wear and apron but if it’s as cute as these then I just might use it.
I really wish I could sew my own! I’m soo jealous…..I may have to break down and purchase them instead of trying to sew my own….they are lovely!
Wow, those are super cute! I love aprons! Makes baking even that more fun:)
I have been waiting for these & they were worth the wait. Lovely!
i want one. they’re adorable. maybe a happy christmas present to myself? :)
serious cuteness.
love love love :)
Very cute! I’ve been thinking about making some of those as Christmas gifts myself. Alas, I have yet to get around to it. So many good intentions so little time. I may need to pick up a couple of yours.
Oh, soooooo pretty and special! Love the fun mix of fabrics!!
Reminds me of when my sister and I had my MIL over several years ago (she came to visit from out of state). My sister presented “Mom” with an apron she had made just for the occasion. Mom taught us how to make her pierogis (3 different varieties & NO written recipes!) and some homemade noodles (Polish-style). We made enough pierogis for everybody in the family to take home to their freezers Mom is in a nursing home now, but those pierogis are constantly being requested by all. We have many fine and fond memories of that day. And my sister made a bunch of aprons after that to gift and to sell at a craft fair.
I’m gonnna definately bug my sister to come up with some more aprons and get together to make some pierogis. She’s been down about what to “buy for just about nothing” for presents – so here ya go, right!!?
Joy – these are precious. I was thinking to myself: “hm…I wish I really was enough of a baker to invest in something like this…” and then I realized that I need to own it! I’m a baker and I want an apron! :)
girl, you look awesome! i’m so checking out your etsy shop right now!
Cute!
I love the little floral pocket!
Awww!! that apron is cuuute!!
You are too adorable. I love aprons!
They ARE cute! I may just purchase one as a gift for my little sister.
aw man i wish we had $ right now i would SO buy one! adorable joy, as always :) – hugs from cleveland
didn’t know you had an Etsy site – great to know. I love aprons, especially those that have a vintage-y feel, and these fit the bill. ADORABLE. Great work to the we – you know, your mama :)
Wow. You are so talented and cute too!!!! Awesome job and colors with the apron.
Very cute! When I bake, I wipe my hands on my pants repeatedly! An apron might help…
Cuteness!
Such a cute apron! You look darling in it. :)
Wow!! I love ’em!!
love ’em! do you (or your mom haha) also make the ones that cover the upper body? like a full-length one? i would buy one if so…
awww~
they’re adorable!
Aprons!!! Cute, cute cute!
How cute! I love the mix of the fabrics.
I’m so jealous of people who can make half-aprons work. They are ADORABLE. But my #1 problem with cooking is getting things on my top half, so I always have to wear full aprons. I don’t know what my problem is!
So cute! I just got a new sewing machine… hmm…
I love it! I’m glad you had the last picture…definitely made a big difference! (Yay for camera cell phones.)
Oh Joy I just love the aprons!! I have been collecting vintage aprons for a few years now, I probably have over 50. My most prized one is from the early 1900s, the only difference is how small their waists were compared to ours!! Probably because they were making cream cheese cinnamon rolls ;D
Reminds me of something my mom used to make!!!
Look at that tiny little waist! And the apron is super cute, too. :)
They are super cute ! Congratulations :)
cute aprons–way to go ‘mom’! why is it the talented food bloggers are always slender?!?
oh my god…these are ADORABLE.
Adorable, just adorable!
These are so cute…and you have the prettiest smile.
Gorgeous! And the apron is cute too. ha! Love the style. Price is good for the quality of work. Kudos to Momma!
Nice aprons, but not really my style so I’ll leave an one for someone else. Now on the other hand, the model is spectacular… sigh, if only I was a few decades younger!
These must be the cutest aprons I’ve ever seen, you’re great!
Besides I particularly love aprons, since Iuse them quite a lot, baking ca be a messy hobby.

I love this, your mom is so talented. I get so messy though I need a full apron, any chance she will be making any of those??
Absolutely beautiful! The apron is very pretty too ;-)
Oh, there’s nothing like a sweet looking apron to help us work wonders at the stove/oven!!
What an adorable apron! I’m guilty of hardly ever wearing an apron… but I just might if I had a cute one like this :).
I love that apron! I love bright colors. I never wear aprons, tho. I probably should start because I get everything covered in flour.
Very cute aprons! I LOVE them!
They’re darling! I’m sure they’re going to go fast!
Or, I should say, how long is the sash with which you tie?
I would like to buy one, but I’m quite a bit bigger than “one size fits most.” I want one of your ditsy-flowered, super-cute aprons, though. Any plans to make a larger size? :(
Oh Joy! Too cute!! Your mom is a pretty talented gal!
Oh. My. Goodness. These are so adorable, Joy! I’m incredibly impressed with your mom’s handwork :] I just may have to get myself one of these super cute aprons.
