Revamping Vintage Aprons

Some vintage aprons can stand alone and some can use a little restyling. 

 Here are two aprons I have taken and revamped into the Shabby Chic style.

Mustard yellow handkerchief bottom apron.

Here I added orange satin ribbon to trim the bottom of this apron and around the pocket.

  I included a crochet doily and a removable orange and green felt flower.

Simple orange/peach and beige checked apron

I restyled this apron by shortening this by about 2 inches.   I added cream pompom trim around bottom and cream lace around the waistband.  I included a cream crochet doily pocket which is trimmed with orange ribbon and orange and white felt flower and beige button center.

Recycling One Man's Shirt

I have become a fan of recycling clothing lately.  My latest project is to see how many items I can get out of  one man's dress shirt.  First I made a halter apron.  I had all these scraps left over and just don't like to waste or through away anything.  So I decided to brainstorm and come up with ideas to use my scraps.  I came up with the cuff bracelets, and then collars, I made two collar.  Next I made a rosette to add to a headband.  There an now only small pieces of cloth left.  I think I did rather well in creating unique and usable items.

My First Fair Competition

This year was my first year to enter into the Payne County Fair.  Year after year I see the flier and brochure about the fair but have never entered an item.  I always thought one of these years or even thought oh well I will never win.  But this year I was encouraged by friends to enter the fair and just see if you might win.  And to my surprise I did win a few ribbons.

My rainbow polka dot and heart apron won 1st place ribbon.

My scripture handkerchief won 2nd place.

My Victorian cuffs won 3rd place

My shirt apron won 4th place.

My snow leopard tote won 5th place 

I am so blessed and impressed I won these ribbons for my handy work.  Its great to get sales but its just quite rewarding to place and win ribbons for your work too.

New Design Cuff Bracelets

I am one of these designers that just don't like to waste anything so I design and make shirt aprons and have left over fabric and decided there has to be something to do with the cuffs of the shirts and came up these pretty Victorian cuff bracelets.

Designer Eric Renteria

Recently I have had the privilege of making a new friend via Facebook.  Eric Renteria is a vintage fashion designer, Etiquette Vintage Designs, who I meet while admiring one of his cute outfits. 

Through Facebook I was contacted to create a retro headband like the one from the movie Notebook, which starred  Ryan Gosling and  Rachel McAdams.  This  headband was to be in one of his upcoming fashion shoots.  I was truly honored to be contacted to make an item for a magazine fashion shoot.

Eric has a unique fashion style and fashion sense where he takes vintage clothing and updates them.  He does this while still keeping the classic theme of the 50’s college preppy look.  He redesigns men’s cardigan sweaters into letterman sweaters with college emblems and letters.  He can also embroider them with the college name or fraternity name of your choice.

Another favorite of his items is ladies dresses.  Eric can turn a plain dress into a cute fashion piece that every woman would be proud to own.   His eye of an appeal is mostly his letterman sweaters and ladies skirts.  The traditional poodle shirt has been shorten to the new mini flair for the modern woman who likes the  50’s look but wants to show off some leg.

Eric Renteria is a Texas native who looks just as fashionable as the clothing he designs.  He is always the best dressed man where ever he goes.  Showing real class never dies out and fashion is a must for the well dressed man.  Check out his latest creations at EVintageD.com

New Vintage Halter Apron

I just love vintage sheets and the cute designs on them. So I decided to make a darling halter apron with some sheets. I made a totally reversible apron that is as cute on the front side as the back side. Frankly, I can't even tell which is the front or back. LOL This is how it turned out.


Bust here is Navy with flowers, skirt turquoise blue daisies and light blue waistband.


This is the reverse side with the Turquoise blue daisies on the bust and the navy and flower on the skirt. The waist band is the same light blue.

It's waiting for a home at my shop.
