Yo Momma's Apron Strings Aprons in Action!

Yo Momma's Apron Strings has made aprons for all ages, from wee walkers to those more seasoned.
What follows are some of my favorite apron models, in no particular order:

How cute is she? 

Never mind, I already know the answer.

My crazy cookin' daughter 

and designer/owner of Anne Bonny's Booty.

All right, I couldn't resist this image but their identities are kept secret 

(even though many already have an idea, a very good idea, of who these two topless chefs might be).

Happy Birthday!  

Now she has an apron in two states:

a summer Michigan apron and a winter Arizona apron.

Totally stylin' in the kitchen.

I would love more images of my aprons in action. 

Anyone want to send some to me?

I should Have field tested that apron!

I was excited about the new apron and rushed it out there after having only tried it on myself. One body shape and that was my mistake. I blogged about it, facebook-ed it and hung it out for sale for all to see.

"So, Zoe," I said excitedly, "try on my new apron.

"Ugh," she said having tried in vain to adjust the bodice to fit her smaller frame.

"But the fit is flexible. All you have to do is draw it up and the wide back will hold it in place so that it can fit any body size," I said desperately. I was beginning to sense that sinking feeling when I know something isn't right.

"I think you need to take this one back to the drawing board," she said kindly.

Ah, me. She was right. An apron with a distinct waistband and bodice will NOT fit any body style as I had so hoped. So that's why all the vintage aprons that have gathered skirts and bodices are sized! Well, any tried and true seamstress would have been able to tell me that obvious fact but I forged ahead thinking the one-sized medium would do it for all. After all, the skirt on the thing could wrap all the way around to the back ties, making that particular fit quite flexible. That bodice fit definitely was not.

So what happens to that new apron in my group of one-size fits all aprons? It becomes a half apron and can still fit anyone.

Tah-dah! (I hope.)
