CUSTOMIZED 50s SMOCK APRON: Choose your own fabrics to make a comfortable, all-day apron that is perfect for YOU! If you don't already know what fabrics you want, Laurie can send you details about where to choose your fabrics (should you need a little help) immediately following your order-- just MESSAGE me to request help! The apron can be made using coordinating "quilting cotton" or with solid-colored Kona Cottons (all-black example in the last photo.) The retro 50s Smock Apron is based loosely on a vintage 1950s apron pattern that was in my great-grandmother's collection-- altered to fit modern size ranges. Customize your apron by choosing to add pockets-- or not! This charming style of apron is so easy to wear! Made to gently slip over your head and then tie at the waist. Wide straps go over the shoulders and attach to the apron in the back at the waistline. (Shoulder straps are shaped and joined together across the upper part of the back, which is why it is sometimes called an "H back" style of apron.) The apron rests totally on the shoulders, placing no strain on the neck. A completely comfortable style for all-day wear! Curved lower edges of the front panel and sides add interesting scallop detail. This is a larger style apron-- loose fitting but still shapely. Flattering shaping is accomplished by adding bias trim on every seam line. Very pretty style to wear. Makes a great gift for the cooking/baking enthusiast on your gift list-- or for a very special treat for yourself! Great care and attention are paid when I make these aprons-- there are no exposed seams or raw edges showing on my aprons! All seams are neatly enclosed and topstitched for a sturdier and longer-lasting finished product.

●✿● OPTIONAL POCKET DETAILS ●✿●
✿ HIP Pockets (Specifically these are called "welt pockets"--like the back pockets on men's dress pants-- most of the pocket is on the inside with only a slim band of contrast fabric showing on the outside of the apron at the top of the pocket.)
✿ KANGAROO pocket (This goes across the front of the apron. The kangaroo pocket will be made using the same fabric as the body of the apron unless you specify in the "NOTE TO SELLER" box that you would like it made in the coordinating/or contrasting fabric to make the pocket stand out. )
✿ You may also choose to add BOTH types of pockets

I have purchased two aprons from this vendor. So happy with the service, and the product. May purchase a third! Something I will cherish these aprons for many years. Lots of memories to be made. Great product and VERY well made! Great and fun communication!
Once again, my third apron arrived! So excited, and quality beyond my expectation! Would totally recommend to anyone!
Laurie's aprons are beautiful pieces of work. Her sewing and finishing are exceptional. I've ordered five or six aprons from her and every one is perfect.
This apron was perfect! Adjustments were made to fit my measurements and it turned out beautifully. I really really appreciate the double sided ties! It seems trivial but I hate wrinkled up ties and this will help. The edges were all finished perfectly.
Laurie did an amazing job! We are long time friends and graduated high school together. She took it upon herself to shorten the apron based on my fiancée height. Turned out perfect! She loves it.
Just received my custom apron today. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I am a working artist and NEED to wear an apron for most of my day. Not only does it serve a practical purpose of protecting my clothes, it also helps get into a creative mind set. Sort of like putting on a uniform, your brain makes a switch from everyday about town woman to.... I am the Goddess of the Creative Muse, I have paint, clay, fabric and misc power tools .... and I am NOT afraid to use them!! Being a “curvy girl”... (Ok, fine... a fat old broad, and proud of it!... don’t mess with me, I have power tools!). ....aprons have always been a hit or miss proposition!
NOT ANYMORE! Laurie has done it! A fabulous fitting apron done in your choice of fabrics. I will certainly be needing more!!
Great Communication! Arrived sooner than expected. Exactly what I was looking for to help reduce the strain on my neck from my previous work apron. Very well made! Will definitely recommend to my friends and co-workers. Thank you!
Absolutely amazing! Fits a dream- customizations were perfect! Laurie made my dream apron.
If you're on the fence -do it! Join the apron revival!
Amazing! These are beautiful - Laurie made me a big set of matching adult and child aprons (pinafore aprons for the kids) out of Christmas fabric - I cannot WAIT to use them!!!
Love the 1950’s apron for coverage, pockets, and that it lays across the shoulders rather than tying behind the neck. Best apron EVER.
My mom loved this! Wonderful customer service, quick service and amazing craftsmanship!
