Couldn't ask for a better model.

Meg fell in love with  of my 50's Cover-Up aprons and decided she wanted one but out of a fabric I no longer had and doubted I could find again. My daughter, Zoe, asked if I would make the apron for Meg's birthday (Zoe and Meg are best buddies). Of course I said I would and was surprised to find the wished for fabric still being sold.

The apron was made and bestowed. It fits and looks beautiful on Meg. Wearing her apron and cooking on a vintage stove, she looks as if she stepped off the pages of a 50s advertisement, though with a wacky sense of fun that wouldn't be seen in a 50s ad.

The Cover-Up apron is the only style I make that is sized: small, medium and large.  The reason for the different sizes is because it requires an couple extra steps to get the apron on - putting it over the head and drawing each arm through the arm openings. For that reason a small apron with its smaller arm openings will not work on a larger body that needs larger openings.

I am Meg. And, I approve this message! giggle. seriously though, i love this fabric and I LOVE THIS APRON!! I've been wearing "halfies" for years and love slipping on this apron and tying its strings. beautiful, comfy, and practical...it's an unbeatable combo! Plus, I'm beginning to believe that it makes my cooking taste better, too(just a personal observation). Thank you, thank you, thank you!
