Open for business

Back in December, I mentioned my first craft show.  It went really well and I decided to try and sell my little aprons online and had to get a shop up and going.  I'm not one to really put myself out there much and I know the competition is stiff but everyone has to start somewhere right?

When my girls were little, my mother-in-law gifted me her old sewing machine.  I toyed with my mothers when I was a teenager, making hair scrunchies for my hair.  I always liked the idea of sewing because my mom made us some nice dresses from time to time.  My mother-in-law taught me the basics and then I was pretty much on my own. Thankfully kids clothes are forgiving so I was able to practice on my kids clothes. I still have a lot to learn but for now I am having fun.


I decided to use the ever popular Etsy to sell my little aprons.  I still have to get some more inventory in there and it would be great if I had a little girl model but for now it will do.  I am also in the process of fancy-ing up the girls style and I want to design a teen one.  One of my "little" girls isn't so little anymore and I will need to design something more appropriate for her.

These aprons would be great for baking, gardening, art, or whatever ones heart desires.  So hop on over to my little shop and take a peek!  I have aprons for girl and boy children and toddlers and am willing to discuss custom fabric requests.
