It's been busy and posting seems to have fallen to the wayside. I apologize. The good news is that, finally, the Harvest Bag Apron has a Bib Top. Many of you took the Harvest Bag to heart and headed out to gather an abundance of heavy things like potatoes and found that the Harvest apron would begin to sag under the weight of 20 pounds or more. We have solved that problem by adding a bib top that attaches to the back waist ties. We made two places in which to draw the ties, allowing an extended fit. Also made from a denim, we hopes this serves our customers as the gather the fruits of their labor....or I should say the veggies of their labor.

Peace and joy,
Susannah

We also put up a Pot Holder Page and added a way to order a matching set for whichever apron you purchased. Brilliant us!]]><![CDATA[Website Work]]>Sun, 15 Apr 2012 15:27:40 -0500http://www.vermontapron.com/1/post/2012/04/website-work.htmlThe website is always being tweaked but major renovation feels like a more honest term. Tea Cozies, both styled pages area done. Prairie Bonnets are better but I would prefer a live model. I am waiting for the first bolt of Denim to arrive. That is where I want to be, I can't wait to make the new samples.

Joy

We paired it with black swirls. Fun! It was worn by Frank so we could get a look and I have to admit, although it was meant as a woman's apron, it looks good on Frank, too. Don't a lot of men make breakfast and serve coffee in the morning? It really can be unisex, can't it? So I added it to the Man's Work  Apron Page with a brief note about unisex. We really aren't gender specific as much as we use the terms loosely to help people be guided through our pages of lace, ruffles and  bodice styles. The Coffee pot Apron will be our first Unisex Apron that will show in both the Man's and Woman's Pages. Here's a peek at Frank and the female dress form wearing the same Apron.

The Coffee Pot Apron is also the first of our new Kitchen line. Kitchen apron features include; lightweight one layer of fabric, flat pockets, co-coordinating ties

Our Model and Photographer were terrific. Thank you Elizabeth and Julie! It was so much fun to shoot here at The Tannery Marketplace. The property is loaded with brick walls, stone, old cement and aged wood. What a great photographic playground it turned out to be.

The problem that I have discovered with any photo shoot is editing. When you sit down with over 100 great shots, it's saddening not to use them all. We hope you enjoy what we have done. Have a great Sunday

We have our photographer, model and creepy buildings in place. Then we are back to finishing the updates on our website and we might even be able to get back to our newsletter and blogs. Here, in the new studio, I think we are actually catching up and begining to serve our customers better....we hope...truly.

Some women prefer a short apron that maintains that look of elegance. Here's what we came up with for that occasion.  Find them under the Cute Apron tab under womens.

A business is like a toddler, it keeps going whether anyone is there to watch it or not. Orders keep coming, fabric keeps landing and phone calls and emails pile up. We apologize for our lateness and as we are recovering, are working diligently to catch up. On a brighter note, new spring fabric is here!
