Maybe you'll choose this cutie!!
Here is a bio that Vicky sent us.
My name is Vicky. Growing up in the fifties, I watched my mom take in sewing and ironing to help feed us 6 kids. She didn't have time to teach us to sew and I had already decided that sewing was something I never wanted to do. She passed away in 1981. In 1985 I had this incredible urge to learn how to quilt and make doll clothes. Quilting and sewing has become my passion. My mom passed away never knowing that I had inherited her talent. My sister has said that mom would be very proud of me, thus that is the name I chose. Please let me share my talent with you. I have collected lots of different fabrics over the years, so most of my aprons will be one of a kind. So get them while you can. On a personal note: I have worked and am still working full time for the same company for the last 38 years. I have also been selling mostly sewing supplies/books on Ebay under the name of quilter70 since 2001. I have sold over 600 items with a 100% positive feedback. My husband is retired and we are Proud Army Parents of one son currently stationed in Alaska.
Vicky didn't mention it, but she is also a Cottage Industry Partner with Sew Liberated and as such is one of the few people who have the right to make Emmeline aprons to sell, along with Lolas and all the other SL patterns. I'd encourage you to try her services!!

Wow! What a great apron. I do so love the Alexander Henry fabrics. So retro.
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute and so retro!
ReplyDeleteChecked out the shop, love the Emmeline Apron Reversible, it is one of my favorite patterns that I don't own---yet.
ReplyDeleteLove the site! She had some great choices. I love the retro depictions. My favorite was the Rock Around The Clock apron. So cute! I also posted about this on my blog here http://bellarome.blogspot.com/2009/01/homeward-bound.html. Thanks to Nancy for such lovely aprons!
ReplyDeleteI love the Emmeline apron!
ReplyDeleteSO TALENTED!!
ReplyDeleteI have piles of aprons here as high as an elephant's eye, but last week I had to order one of Vicky's aprons. I make 'em too, so I'm pretty discriminating (you too?), and I have to say the work is impeccable. I bought Emma's Practical Pocket apron in a very cool rock 'n' roll print, and as a bonus found a recipe for a bundt cake that I've already made twice (yes, since last week). On another note, Vicky is as nice as her aprons, giving lots of advice and support to a fellow apron maven. Vicky, if you're reading this, our guest last night cooed over your/my apron, saying she'd know my aprons anywhere. My reply: I wish!
ReplyDeleteI love the Yee Haw Apron the best.I am amazed at the resurgence of aprons!
ReplyDeleteI will post a link on my blog to the etsy shop.
I am sewing my apron for the swap today.
What a beautiful and original apron! I love the pattern and the accent trim.
ReplyDeleteI am kind of partial to the Classy Sassy apron pattern too.
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric on this apron.
ReplyDeleteI just love the fabric. The colors are fantastic, and the fit look so cute.
ReplyDeleteI really like the Teal Blue and Chocolate Brown Little Ladies Girls Bib Apron.
ReplyDeleteSo out of all the darling aprons she has up on her etsy store, I am going to have to go with the "Emmeline". It is just so sassy, and the reversible aspect of it is unbeatable. I love the green accent fabric, so fun!
ReplyDeleteCome check out my blog blurb about Cute Vickys arpons!
ReplyDeleteI love the mocca bangle dot apron the best, but they are all so cute it is hard to make a decision.
ReplyDeleteThe colors of that fabric scream vintage to me LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteSo I've been over at the etsy store, "ooohhh"ing and "aaahhh"ing over all the aprons. I am so lusting over the Route 66 apron!! The anticipation is killing me!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that apron. And the aprons on her etsy shot - too cute!
ReplyDeletePosted a bit about the etsy store and a sneak peek of my swap apron.
ReplyDeleteI love the contrasting prints. Very Retro!
ReplyDeleteI just visited Vicky's shop and loved the themed aprons with the scenes on the front. Very unique! The desert scene was my favorite!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteI visited her shop and I LOVE the Emma's Practical Pocket Route 66!
