Because of my checkered past (I first made and wore a gingham apron when I was 10 years old and have been “tying one on” ever since), I want to share my time-worn favorites that tell the world you’re a farmgirl and proud of it! Whether you’re a city chick or farm chick, my collection of adorable vintage-style aprons will bring you back to your farmgirl roots, back to homemade strawberry pie, next door with soup for your neighbor, downtown for an evening of crochet with friends, and uptown in a dress-up apron, or maybe even on a farm of your own.

Since my Project F.A.R.M. (First-class American Rural Made) aprons are handmade and homegrown, I’d like you to meet the women who put needle and thread to my apron designs. To see them in action, jump over to our video library.

A different version of this apron will be featured in an upcoming issue of Country Home Magazine (May 2008 issue). Check back here April 1, 2008 to purchase their exclusive design.

MaryJane’s Strawberry Apron is as tasty as strawberry pie

Sweet as can be, this vintage-style 100% cotton apron is for pie-baking and berry-picking. For oven-taking, it comes with a strawberry pocket that is also a handy hot pad. Especially sweet at $54.00.
