This is the apron that started it all. At least in my kitchen. :)
I bought this apron off of eBay a couple of years ago, and since then it has basically been a part of me. Before I started wearing an apron, I used to always end up with greasy spots on all my shirts. You can ask my husband, I'm not the neatest cook! So I love my apron! I wear it whenever I am cooking or washing dishes and it has saved many a shirt!
Since I liked my apron so well, I decided I wanted another one. I found some material I really liked and got a pattern. Now, I have sewn curtains and table runners and things like that, but I have never followed a pattern before. :S But after many phone calls to my mom I managed to make this apron!
Then Chance decided he wanted an apron too. I asked him what color he wanted, expecting him to say green...his favorite color. But he said, "Blue, to match yours!" So I got some more material, and made him a cute, simple apron. It turns out that patterns are kind of like recipes...I can't follow them exactly, I always change things up a bit! :)
Then I offered to make my sister one. So I made this cute apron for her. It's kind of addicting, really. :)
So now I am thinking I will make aprons to sell. At first I thought I would have to name my company 'Obviously Homemade', but by the third apron in about a week, I have a little more confidence. :) There are a couple cute stores around here that sell home goods and kitchen gadgets, etc, so I think I will try to sell through them. But also sell online, so if anybody wants to order an apron, let me know! :)
Definitely set up an etsy shop!
