Aprons. Aprons. ApronsApronsAprons!
We made aprons. We bought the fabric. We cut the patterns. We sewed and stitched and sewed and stitched and sewed and stitched about a million (ok… just fifty) times over. Maybe ‘we’ is a bit too liberal. My darling and most talented mother made each and every one of these aprons. Where I can work wonders with a spatula, she can work wonders with a sewing machine. Please don’t make me sew anything… I just make myself bleed.
So here’s the plan. I want you to have fun in the kitchen making Cream Cheese Cinnamon Rolls or whipping up a batch of Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes. 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. Do it! I think a fun little apron might help.
For you pleasure, I’ve even made an Etsy store to showcase Joy the Baker Aprons. Sweeeeet!
All aprons are 100% cotton, one size fits darn near everyone… and bonus: each apron comes nicely wrapped for your gift giving pleasure. Supplies are limited. The fabric is flying.
My Mom took this picture with my cellphone. See? Proof of cuteness. 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!
Matt Strouss
Wow!!! That’s all I got. Oh yea, the apron is nice too. Do you personally deliver them?
joythebaker
No Matt. No personal delivery… that seems creepy, don’t you think?
Matt
No Joy, not creepy, just marketing genius. I’m thinking “value add”. Oooo, maybe delivery could come with a baking lesson…just sayin.
joythebaker
I see Matt. A baking lesson. I like the way you think.

Your mother is very talented! Too cute!
Nicole

When Pigs Fly
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!!?
Laura
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! :)
Hleure

Nik

sarah hawley
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 :)
Miranda
Wow. You are so talented and cute too!!!! Awesome job and colors with the apron.
Dana S.
Very cute! When I bake, I wipe my hands on my pants repeatedly! An apron might help…
Sassy Molassy
Cuteness!
It's a Hoot!
Such a cute apron! You look darling in it. :)
Jen G
Wow!! I love ’em!!
Lisa

JoyBoe
awww~
they’re adorable!
christine louise
Aprons!!! Cute, cute cute!
Amy Kelly
How cute! I love the mix of the fabrics.
Kelly
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!
Kare
So cute! I just got a new sewing machine… hmm…
Joanna
I love it! I’m glad you had the last picture…definitely made a big difference! (Yay for camera cell phones.)
Natalie
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
Laura
Reminds me of something my mom used to make!!!
Emily
Look at that tiny little waist! And the apron is super cute, too. :)
Dolce
They are super cute ! Congratulations :)
jonquil
cute aprons–way to go ‘mom’! why is it the talented food bloggers are always slender?!?
Ariella
oh my god…these are ADORABLE.
Sue
Adorable, just adorable!
lemmonex
These are so cute…and you have the prettiest smile.
Jen-
Gorgeous! And the apron is cute too. ha! Love the style. Price is good for the quality of work. Kudos to Momma!
David
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!
Amy
Oh, there’s nothing like a sweet looking apron to help us work wonders at the stove/oven!!
Silvia
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.

Rebecca
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??
katherine
Absolutely beautiful! The apron is very pretty too ;-)
Lauren
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 :).
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is
I love that apron! I love bright colors. I never wear aprons, tho. I probably should start because I get everything covered in flour.
Estela @ Weekly Bite
Very cute aprons! I LOVE them!
bright and blithe
They’re darling! I’m sure they’re going to go fast!
Jess
Or, I should say, how long is the sash with which you tie?
Jess
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? :(
andrea
Oh Joy! Too cute!! Your mom is a pretty talented gal!
Rachael@SpachetheSpatula
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.
