Vermont Apron Company

[ysabetwordsmith]

I stumbled across this while looking for something else.  The Vermont Apron Company makes aprons for a variety of practical purposes.  I'm not sure if all of them have pockets, but most visibly do.  I call your attention to the gathering aprons.  I remember these -- something I've made in many lives when I got tired of tying my shirt up to hold things.  They have sizes from XS to 5X, plus children, and their models include genuinely party-size people not just average-size-14, so there should be something for almost everyone.

What they don't have, and I had to hunt elsewhere, is an egg-gathering apron.  This type has many small pockets.  It is essential to put elastic around the top, so the eggs don't fall out when you bend down to reach a new one, although almost all the pictures I saw had none.  So if you buy, be careful to look for that feature.

Thanks so much for the link. These are so cool. I can think of a couple of people that these would make great presents for.

You're welcome!

I'm happy I could help. Basic aprons are simple to sew, but these go way beyond basic. They're some of the nicest examples I've seen, especially with the giant pockets.

I'm a huge fan of giant pockets. :-)

Oh my. WANT. The ones with all the pockets would be so good as a crafting smock! I'm forever putting things down and then having to hunt them again.

Thank you for the link!

Well ...

Yeah, I think the barn aprons have the most pockets and durability.

do they have a suggestion box?

Maybe you can suggest an egg gathering apron there?

Ermagerd! Actual party-sized models!

Also, those are really /awesome/ aprons. I'm really digging those nice linen ones....

Yes ...

I have started watching for designers who feature a wide range of models so I can reward them with links. :D I mean, if "plus" starts at size 14, which is average, that's no use to my friends who wear 3X or 5x. They need to see how clothes look on someone their size. One thing that snagged my attention about this was it reminds me of how a large friend dresses in layers and always looks snazzy.

Yeah, I like that they have a range of fabrics as well as styles. Linen is a great choice for aprons because it's cool and breathable, and does not stretch.

Oooh, giant pockets! I'm probably not going to order an apron all the way from Vermont but now that I know they exist, I can find or make something similar here. Thank you!

It's like acquiring five more pairs of hands, thanks for the links.

You're welcome!

I also like utility belts.
