Snappyshot hails from Southern California and has been sewing for over 24 years. Her designs are retro 1950’s, cute and full of fun. Snappyshop’s Etsy store has a vast array of funky little aprons to choose form. She says:
Some of my favorite images are from old advertising illustrations from the fifties and sixties. I especially love anthropomorphic characters, and am currently working on some simple happy kitchen items for lower priced aprons. I like the idea of wearing your apron out, but so far I’ve only worn them when I throw a party. I like to make my apron part of my outfit and wear it during the whole party.
Most of the items in the store are made to order. This apron pictured sells for US$47.00 – get in whilst the Aussie dollar is good.
