Joy the Baker Handmade Aprons

December 1, 2009 by Joy the Baker 67 Comments

Joy the Baker Aprons 

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!

    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! :)
