Ok – Imagine the sound that a 15 year old girl makes at a Justin Bieber concert. Then raise it an octave or two.
That’s pretty much the sound I made (in my head) when this awesomely wonderful publication showed up at my door.
Hi Beautiful Magazine!
Apronology is a semiannual magazine put out by Somerset Studio and it’s entirely dedicated to handmade aprons.
Frilly, retro, stylish, sassy - and all super cute.
Can you guess why it’s my all time favorite magazine?
I am in it!!!
(Unfortunately I am not one of those people who can be all calm and sophisticated when things like this happen.
Sorry – be prepared for gushing and excessive exclamation points!!)
Ready to see?
My pretty Fair Apron. I made this for our County Fair Apron contest 2 years ago and came up with a big fat goose egg there.
Those silly fair judges. :)
Me !!!!!!!!!
The apron is made with a little placket on the bib and an asymmetrical hem – both are edged in crochet trim that I made!
It was such a fun apron to do and I’m so excited that it made the magazine!
I posted this a while ago – click here for the tutorial.
(Please excuse the sad pictures in that tutorial. I was young and inexperienced and had no idea how to take decent blog photos. ;)
But that’s not all!!! (said in my announcer voice)
I have TWO aprons in the magazine!!
They also chose my Let’s Eat Cake apron – another of my favorites!!
Do you remember this one? Probably not – it was ages ago too!
This little half apron was designed around the sweet cake ribbon I found on vacation. I love the retro feel of the gingham along with the little embroidered pocket and the scalloped hem!
The tutorial for this apron is here.
So I am a beyond thrilled (obviously)!
The staff at Apronology was so great and I have been a fan of the magazine for a while. To actually be included in this issue is amazing to me!
Update: Some of you have asked where you can pick up a copy of Apronology – I have seen them at Joann’s and Barnes and Noble. I know some craft stores have them (though I don’t think Michael’s does).
I hope that helps! :)
I have to say thank you soooo much for all your support and encouragement!
Honestly you have made such a difference with all your sweet comments and notes – and without you I doubt I would have ever managed to get enough courage to submit anything!
One more . . . Yayyyyyy! :)
Ok. Back to normal now. ish.
Congratulations…..how exciting.
Congratulations! What a thrill to be “published.” You are extremely talented and have great taste. My sister, who passed away almost 10 years ago, was an atrology enthusiast. She wrote an article and submitted it and was published. I can still remember how thrilled she was!

I’m clapping, YEAH! I know you must be so excited, & proud to have 2 aprons in the mag. Well DONE! Oh, right, I do like both of them, and maybe, I will give them both a try. :)

Awesome, congrats! Just so ya know. The company website now has a plan where you can have magazines delivered when they’re published and your charged on your credit card given. I did it for Stitch so I wouldn’t forget an issue and I plan on doing it for Apronology as well.
Congratulations!! Silly fair judges indeed. They just don’t have a big enough view, LOL.
