Men’s Sport Aprons

The one thing that my husband complained about whenever he tried to use one of my aprons was that it was 'girly' :) the second thing that he complained about, was that the waist ties never reached his waist! They always ended up tying around his ribs. Men’s torsos are usually longer than women’s. The aprons that we have around the house are usually for us women, and are just not meant to fit our men! Why not get your man an apron made just for him?
These aprons are made longer in the torso and wider across. Men's chests are broader also, so the narrow chest part of most aprons just doesn't cut it. These aprons will cover your man - so that weather they are at the grill or inside at the stove, their clothes will stay grease free!
This is a wonderful all-purpose apron. It has a wide neck band and 1 big pocket. It is large enough to cover his whole body and it is not girly!
This apron is totally reversible, and you can get one to match your child if you wanted!
These aprons are very well made and will last for a long time. There are also nice details that you won't find on a lot of aprons including detail stitching all along the edges.

Boys can wear aprons too!!!

Look at these cute boys!! (Thanks Tamara for sending such cute pictures of your adorable boys!)

Tamara says “They actually wear them at dinner (since they are too old for bibs) and it works like a charm! My 5 year old especially loves to do the button himself.” and, the most important part - “BOYS like them too! :)”

If your little guy would like a cool apron, let me know!

Boys Aprons!

OK, I admit it.  Not everyone has all girly girls in their family like I do. ;)

I just went shopping and with the help of my WONDERFUL sister-in-law Holly, I picked up some pretty cool ‘boy’ fabrics.  I am not done in my quest for cute yet boyish or ‘manly’ boy aprons!  Do not fear, this will not be my only venture in to the world of boy fabrics!

Here are the ones that I picked up:

Fabluous Flames!!

(I don’t know that the picture picks it up too well, but there are blue outlines on each of the flames that match the blue fabric for the other side)

“Paw”fect Puppies!

Cool Skulls!!

Pink Skulls!

(I know what you are all thinking!  This is NOT for a boy!!! But it goes along really nicely with the Cool Skulls one above! – and it’s not girly girly like the other ones I have)

Aimie’s Aprons

So I am starting a new venture! I am making kids aprons!
My kids LOVE to help in the kitchen. They LOVE to be my my "sous-chef" and help me make dinner, dessert, or any sort of thing that requires using kitchen utensils. This usually entails getting messy. I have over the years spent various amounts of money purchasing aprons for the girls, and we have received various aprons as gifts. None have lived up to the task of protecting the girls clothing from spills and looked cute at the same time.

Last year, my mom bought the girls some VERY cute aprons and I was very hopeful that we had finally found a winner. I was very perplexed when she brought them home and I found that the neck strap was not the standard round 'over the head' strap you usually see, but two straps that I had to tie. When I asked why, I was told that it was because kids heads are so out of proportion to their body, that when you buy a regular apron, the neck strap has to be large enough to go over their head. This results in making the chest part reach down to the kids belly button. Aha! Now I understand what was wrong with the many other aprons I had purchased in the past! Unfortunately for this set of cute aprons, tying the neck straps IS NOT the answer - this just makes it more difficult for the parent to put the apron on the child AND to make matters worse, the neck straps were too short! :(

This put me on a quest to find a perfect apron! Well several months later and several aprons later (no I didn't buy any more - just kept a mental tally) I have come up with what in my mind is the PERFECT kids apron!!

I will be selling them for $15 each or 2 for $25.  Let me know if you would like one!  I have the following ones available now, or I can custom make one for any color you like!

 

4 aprons

Some of my cute aprons so far!

button

Each apron waist band has a button closure - you can adjust the placement of the button to make the waist fit smaller if you need to.

elastic

These neck straps have elastic in them - this means that the neck strap will fit over the child's head and the apron part will still cover the child's chest!

buttoning apron

The kids can put the aprons on ALL BY THEMSELVES!
