Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you thrift your shirts?
I source most of the shirts I use from my local Goodwill. Shopping here allows me to find high-quality, unique fabrics while supporting sustainability by reducing waste. It also helps me minimize my environmental impact by shopping close to my studio, saving time and gasoline.
In addition, I’m fortunate to receive donations from friends and customers who share my passion for upcycling and giving new life to materials. These contributions add a meaningful touch to my creations and help me continue crafting one-of-a-kind aprons.
Every shirt is carefully inspected, cleaned, and thoughtfully repurposed into a beautiful apron that blends style, sustainability, and practicality.
Why is your inventory so limited?
Each item in my shop is thoughtfully handmade, often using unique materials sourced from thrifted shirts or small fabric batches. This means many of my products are truly one-of-a-kind or made in very limited quantities. My goal is to offer you something special that can’t be found anywhere else.
By focusing on smaller collections, I can prioritize quality over quantity, ensuring every stitch is carefully crafted. It also allows me to reduce waste and embrace sustainable practices by upcycling materials.
If you see something you love, I encourage you to grab it before it’s gone! And don’t forget to join my email list to be the first to know when new designs are added.
How do I care for my items?
All aprons and linens are designed for easy care and are fully machine washable. For best results:
- Machine wash in cold water.
- Tumble dry on medium-low and remove promptly to prevent wrinkles.
- If needed, iron on the cotton setting for a crisp finish.
Following these simple steps will keep your fabrics looking their best for years to come!
Are all your products handmade?
While the majority of my products, like aprons and linens, are lovingly handmade, I also offer a selection of carefully curated items sourced from other makers. These pieces are chosen to complement my handmade collections and make perfect gift pairings. For example, an apron for a gardener might pair beautifully with a slate garden sign.
Every item in my shop is thoughtfully selected to align with my values of quality, charm, and practicality. I’m proud to support other small businesses and makers while offering you a well-rounded shopping experience.

Do you take custom orders?
At this time, I don’t take custom orders. However, I love creating unique, one-of-a-kind pieces, and I frequently add new designs to my collections. Be sure to follow along on social media or join my email list to get first dibs on new arrivals!
How are thrifted materials cleaned and prepared for use?
Every shirt I use is carefully inspected and thoroughly cleaned before being transformed into an apron. As soon as I bring shirts home from the thrift store, I wash them in hot water with a high-quality detergent to remove any dirt, odors, or potential contaminants. If needed, I also use additional treatments to ensure the fabric is sanitized and fresh.
I take extra care to inspect each shirt for stains, damage, or signs of wear that would compromise the quality of the finished product. Only shirts that meet my high standards make it into my collections. You can rest assured that all materials are clean, safe, and ready to bring a touch of charm and warmth to your kitchen.
Do you have a storefront location?
I don’t have a physical storefront at this time, but you can find me in person throughout the year at makers markets and craft fairs. My event schedule will be posted on the “Events” page, so you’ll always know where to find me next!
For online shopping, I offer a limited selection of aprons on Etsy, but my full collection—including exclusive designs—is available right here on my website. I can’t wait to help you find the perfect piece for your kitchen!
