Back to the machine: custom apron order

I have been getting a few orders on the store lately. One is currently traveling around the globe and will be arriving in Norway soon. The other was a custom order. I love doing custom orders. It's great to take one of my ideas and adapt it to meet someone's ideas perfectly.

These girls aprons were all inspired by the Kids Everyday Pretty apron on the far right. I know matchy-matchy is so passé, but I really love the coordinating aprons. I can't wait to see them on their new little owners.

I have another custom order in the works (for some handbags, my first sewing love) and hope to show those off soon. Remember, if you ever need a special item sewn up for any occasion or just because, let me know and shoot me an email. I love to work with people to make things!

The Mini ManApron

For a while now, I've been wanting to make this for my shop. An apron for the little boys out there. I have one for the big guys, and now the little guys can have cool aprons to cook and play in too!

I made my first Mini ManApron for my nephew. He rocked his apron doing crafts and making cupcakes. I made a few adjustments, and now have a great little apron for everyone!

The Mini ManApron is just that, a mini size of my ManApron. It has the super long waist ties, so you can tie up front or in the back, and a kid-sized pocket, in case your little chef needs to keep some tools handy. Most aprons I'd seen were solid colors and so boring. So just like the rest of the designed by Diana aprons, I made them in cool prints. This first one has trees on it. But keep checking the store to see what other prints are coming soon.

Though it's called the Mini ManApron, this little butcher style apron would work well for girls too. And any size kid can wear this apron, since both the neck and waist ties give plenty of room for it to fit any kid.

I'm so happy to finally have aprons for the entire family! So what do you think of the new Mini ManApron?

L is for Little

So, I know it's been forever since I've posted. I promise I'll be better!

Well a few weeks back I got a great custom order on etsy. Someone loved my Retro D Apron, but also wanted a matching apron for their little one (she's about 3). So I went to my pattern and shrunk it down and adjusted it and VOILA! a new Little Retro D Apron.

It's the same paneled retro style as the big apron, just shrunk down to fit our littlest customers. I can't imagine a better Mother's Day gift than a set of these for you and your little one or your favorite Mommy n' Me pair!
These little aprons will be appearing in the store soon, so check back often, you never know what we have coming up next!
A big thanks to etsian "thelmaartie" for putting in the order and allowing me to make her aprons! Hope you enjoyed them!
