5 out of 5 starsI am so happy with this apron. It is well-made and was quickly shipped.
I really appreciate that it is offered in "Plus" size. Most aprons only come in one size but I have increased over the past year and love that I don't have to worry about it not fitting! Thank you so much.
The other thing that makes this apron and vendor stand out from others is the plain solid color. As much as I love the cool colors and patterns of the other aprons, they tend to clash with the clothes that I wear to vend at fairs. This will go with everything. -

3 out of 5 starsApron quality was not what I had expected for it being a custom piece.
Laurie responded on Jan 31, 2019
The apron you ordered from my shop was not a custom item. Perhaps your review may be for a different Etsy purchase? Regardless, I'm sorry you were disappointed with your Etsy shopping experience.

About
Indulge yourself -- buy handmade and see the superior fine detail and quality vs. mass produced products!
I've been a professional seamstress and designer for over 20 years. For the first 6 years of my career, I sewed infant and children's clothing for a local designer to be sold in her lovely retail shop-- putting millions of miles on my sewing machine...
After that store closed, I did a lot of contract sewing /designing on my own. The first holiday market craft show I ever participated in was so successful (and the shoppers so encouraging) it led me to open my first online shop back in 2005. I started out making all kinds of purses: quirky boutique-style purses, embroidered Scripture purses, 'repurposed clothing' handbags, & recycled wrapper purses & accessories.
Jumping ahead to the summer of 2008, my original website's Wrapper Purse Collection attracted the attention of a large company (which upcycles non-recyclable things to make unique products.) Their CEO contacted me out of the blue, and I happily joined their design team a few weeks later. Since I no longer had time to make my own Wrapper Purses for sale, I copyrighted those original patterns to sell in my shop.
Around that same time, I made my very first apron (for my daughter who wanted to be a pastry chef when she grew up....) It was love at first stitch! I truly love designing and sewing every one of them! I love beautiful fabrics, and I so enjoy the creative process of combining fun prints & beautiful colors in each unique apron to create something you won't find anywhere else!!!
Since I added them to my shop, the popularity of my aprons has almost totally eclipsed everything else in my shop. (Except Santa-- the Santa Purse wins the popularity contest, by far!)

Returns and exchanges
I gladly accept returns, exchanges, and cancellations
The following items can't be returned or exchanged
- Custom or personalized orders
- Digital downloads
- Items on sale
Returns and exchange details
2) In compliance with recent EU consumer protection regulations: You must contact me about returns within 14 days after the buyer receives the item. Your return must be received by Laurie within 30 days of the date delivered to you. (The USPS Delivery Confirmation date-- found by using the tracking numbers shown on your Etsy receipt-- will determine the applicable start date of the return option.) YOU must also purchase tracking on your return package to document the date sent by you as well as the date the return is received by me. I recommend also purchasing insurance on the package to protect yourself against loss or damage by the USPS during return shipment.
3) Any item being returned must be in the same 100% BRAND NEW, UNALTERED, & UNUSED condition as it was received-- a condition that allows it to be resold as brand new. Please include the invoice and a note explaining reason for return. Be sure to package the item carefully using protective packing materials-- equivalent to those with which it was sent to you. **PLEASE NOTE: If there are any signs of wear (including but not limited to: food/ dirt/ stains/ make up/ human or pet hair, etc); damage due to improper packaging for return shipment; heavy perfumes, smoke, or other pungent odors-- then the item will NOT be considered acceptable for return, and no refund will be given.** Items which have been used, worn, or washed after receiving do NOT qualify for the Etsy case resolution system, according to Etsy's policies. https://www.etsy.com/legal/policy/seller-case-resolution/242641420379
4) You will receive a full refund for the price of the item(s) ordered, after your item is accepted for return. Shipping fees are not refundable. (They've been paid to the USPS for the delivery service they have already provided.) The buyer agrees to pay all shipping costs (plus customs and duty charges when applicable) associated with the return of the item.
***NO RETURNS ON PERSONALIZED ITEMS, CUSTOM ORDERS, or SEWING PATTERNS*** (Once a paper pattern has been mailed, or after a digital pattern has been downloaded-- patterns are not eligible for refund or cancellation. Please contact me immediately if you wish to cancel a pattern order-- if it has not been sent yet, I would be happy to cancel.)
Payment
SALES TAX will also be collected (by Etsy) from customers living in states that have adopted online sales tax policies-- no matter where the seller is located. This process is handled by Etsy-- sellers do not have the ability to waive payment of this tax.
AUSTRALIAN customers will now be charged 10% GST on all purchases less than $1,000 AUD. The buyer will pay the tax at checkout, and Etsy will be responsible for remitting it to the Australian tax office (ATO).
***PLEASE NOTE*** Etsy IS required to collect and remit VAT at the time of purchase (for buyers in the UK) for DIGITAL ITEM orders made available by instant download. *However* VAT is NOT collected until AFTER arrival in the United Kingdom for physical packages coming through the Post Office. Those fees are paid upon delivery. PLEASE READ DETAILS HERE: www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/tax-and-duty
Shipping
♥ Most items in my shop are individually handmade AFTER purchase
♥ Items labeled READY-TO-SHIP are mailed within 24 hours of payment, Monday - Friday.
DELIVERY TIME IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE 'PROCESSING TIME' ESTIMATE
The USPS only gives estimated delivery times-- they do not guarantee delivery dates for ANY of their mail classes. (Not even Express!)
(1) FIRST CLASS MAIL usually 3 - 5 business days to be delivered
(2) PRIORITY MAIL usually 2 - 3 business days
(3) PRIORITY MAIL EXPRESS usually 2 business days
**INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING** delivery speed varies greatly by destination
♥ All packages are shipped with insurance for added peace of mind! Lost, stolen, misdirected, or damaged packages will require that official documents be filed with the USPS prior to replacement or refund.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS are responsible for paying all taxes, duties, handling fees, and custom charges that apply for orders that are shipped outside of the United States. (Every country has unique import laws. Please be aware of your own country's import policies. No seller has the ability to waive these government fees.)
FOR EXAMPLE: Please be advised that purchases coming into the UK are charged a 20% VAT when the cost of the item is over £15. There is also an £8 handling fee from the UK post office. *You will not be receiving your package but a card from the post office to notify you that you need to pay the fees and pick up your package. Please note that this will cause a delay in receiving your item, due to the extra package handling involved upon arrival in your country. PLEASE READ DETAILS HERE: www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/tax-and-duty
*PLEASE NOTE: This is different for DIGITAL ITEM orders. Etsy is required to collect and remit VAT at the time of purchase (from buyers in the UK) for digital orders available by instant download.
Privacy
I do not store any personal information for any customer other than for the purposes of processing an order, shipping packages, as well as on a year-end spreadsheet for record keeping purposes (for paying taxes.) Your information, whether public or private, will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to any other company for any reason whatsoever, other than for the express purpose of delivering the purchased product or service requested.
I do not contact any customer (or potential customer) for purposes of targeted marketing (newsletters, sales announcements, incentive coupons, etc.) No worries about clogging up your inbox with unsolicited email-- I hate that too!
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third party services accessed through Etsy. (Payment processors or shipping services, for example.) You can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy practices. https://www.etsy.com/legal/privacy/
More information
Frequently asked questions
Packing slips are included
Packing slips/receipts are ALWAYS included in shipments. (Purchases marked as a gift do not show prices on the packing slip, similar to a retail store gift receipt.) Each apron is neatly wrapped in a plastic bag to protect the fabric. Purses are enclosed in cellophane wrap. (Packing slips are folded inside of the wrapping. Should the shipping materials or address label become damaged during shipment, this gives the Post Office another method of identifying where the package should go.)
Custom and personalized orders
I love working with my customers to create one-of-a-kind items to suit their unique personalities! Feel free to contact me to discuss customizing your order using different fabrics than what is shown in the listing photos.
Custom embroidery is also an option. Contact me for more information, if you want to add a name or monogram. There is a $10/per item fee for this added personalization. https://www.etsy.com/lauriesgiftsbiz/listing/252642799
Rush Orders
As often as my schedule allows, I try to work with my customers to meet their unique deadlines. Please email Laurie to check to see if it is possible to work your item into the sewing schedule BEFORE placing the order.
There is a fee for the privilege of moving your VIP item(s) ahead of previous orders waiting their turn in my schedule. Read details here: https://www.etsy.com/lauriesgiftsbiz/listing/251785260
Individually handmade by Laurie
I do not keep an inventory. Listing photos show the original sample [purse, apron, or baby blanket] created to take photos for the Etsy shop listing. Actual products may vary slightly in (fabric motif) design placement due to the nature of creating everything individually from scratch. Nothing in my shop is mass produced-- everything is cut & sewn individually after order confirmation. No two items will be completely identical simply due of the nature of handmade creation by human hands. :)
Lost, Stolen, Damaged, or Misdirected Mail
ALL PACKAGES ARE SHIPPED WITH INSURANCE
(1) In the rare event that your package is damaged, or goes missing in shipping-- you will need to fill out and file an Official Affidavit at your local Post Office before replacement or refund.
(2) If your package tracking shows "Delivered" although you have not received it, please contact your local postal office. Also check with other household members, neighbors, etc. In many cases, the package or envelope will turn up!
If all attempts fail to locate your package, please contact me. You will then need to file a claim or 'Theft Report' with the USPS Postal Inspector which will require that you sign an Affidavit regarding the missing package before your replacement or refund can be processed.
NO GIMMICK SHIPPING!
I charge only ACTUAL shipping costs for all orders. (Postage plus insurance) Postage is calculated based on weight--so you always save money when ordering multiple items due to combined shipping. Most aprons are light-weight and are easily combined in shipping envelopes! (Purses don't weight much either-- two purses usually ship in one box for the same cost as shipping one purse! However, the shipping calculator does not accurately combine multiple purse orders-- so any overpayment greater than $1 will be refunded when shipped. )
First Class Mail is the economical default shipping option in the shopping cart. (Faster shipping options are available in the shopping cart when you need your order in a hurry!)
