How "Sew Sassy" got started...

I was in search of a fun, retro apron. Difficult to say the least...

And when I found that apron I was shocked to learn it was out of my price range. So what's a girl to do?! SEW (of course)!

I love to craft and have been for a big part of my life. I've knitted scarves and blankets for loved ones. I've painted and created ornaments during the holidays. So why not sew (which I haven't done for at least 20 years). But like I told a friend "It's just like riding a bicycle", kinda. :)

After I created my first apron, I decided I would make some as gifts. And as that gift list grew, and friends saw the aprons that I created, they started inquiring if I would sell them?

I found myself contemplating "Why not"?

"Sew Sassy" is the outcome of my efforts in sharing unique retro aprons with those who enjoy color, creativity, and one-of-a-kind aprons that are sure to make you smile.

If you have an idea, favorite color(s), hobby or passion and would be interested in a retro apron created JUST FOR YOU; then send me an e-mail and I'll do my best to put something together that will sure to please you or that hostess with the mostess.

"In Production"

I'm finishing up a "Shades of Blue" CAC (custom apron creation).  Once it's complete I'll be starting on this little cutie.

Who doesn't LOVE a baseball game.  I just loved the colors - so bright and cheery.

This pic is just a teaser.  Can you envision the final Apron?

Ever wonder how Custom Apron Creations evolve?  Wonder what your one-of-a-kind Apron might look like?

Well, here's the "quick & easy".

Step #1:   Tell me your 2 favorite colors?

Step #2:   Tell me 1-2 likes?

Step #3:   Let me pick the fabric combos. 

I'll send you a few pictures and you make the final choice.  Or simply "live on the apron edge" and be surprised with the fabric I choose for you.


Example:

Tie in the front ...


...or tie in the back.


It's just that easy!

With the Holidays just around the corner, wouldn't it be great to have an apron to wear while you host?  Or better yet, buy that "special someone" a one-of-a-kind, "made especially for" Apron gift.   Just a little something to think about.
