This shop got multiple 5-star reviews in the past 7 days.
Announcement
Most items in my shop are handmade AFTER an order is placed, and it takes time to create them. Processing time on made-to-order items is 2-3 weeks.
Need something sooner? I do have a few aprons which are already sewn & READY TO SHIP. https://etsy.me/37r7hSn (If the item does NOT say "ready to ship" in the title, it still needs to be sewn.)
I am sewing & shipping orders as fast as I can-- but there WILL be USPS delays in shipping for the foreseeable future that are beyond my control. Thank you for your patience and understanding if you must wait longer than usual to receive your order, while we get through this together!
Thanks for stopping by-- BOOKMARK this page to easily find my shop again!

5 out of 5 starsThis wonderful apron arrived today, love the design and the convenience--no ties to tie, and nothing hanging on my neck. I've put it on in anticipation of baking bread today. Great product!

5 out of 5 starsLaurie is wonderful to work with; she was proactive about a shipping hangup and kept me informed. The denim apron is wonderfully made, easy to put on and wear, and a solid fabric.

About LauriesGiftsBiz
Indulge yourself -- buy handmade and see the superior fine detail and quality vs. mass produced products!
I've been a professional seamstress and designer since 1995! Where has the time gone??? 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, custom photo 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!!! Heirloom quality workmanship for maximum customer satisfaction is always my ultimate goal!

Returns and exchange details
2) 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 refund for the cost of the item(s) ordered, after your item is inspected and deemed acceptable for return. The buyer is responsible for all return 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
Shipping
♥ Most items in my shop are individually handmade AFTER purchase
♥ Items labeled READY-TO-SHIP are mailed within 48 hours. If the item does NOT say "ready to ship" it still needs to be sewn. https://etsy.me/37r7hSn
♥ DELIVERY TIME IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE 'PROCESSING TIME' ESTIMATE ♥
**Please note that the estimated shipping date (provided by Laurie in the confirmation message) is NOT the date it will be delivered-- your order will ship no later than that estimated date. Delivery speed AFTER that is solely dependent upon the postal service. (Long delays are unfortunately very common at this point in history.)
♥ There are currently very SIGNIFICANT delays happening for all shipping services. Packages shipped via USPS are currently not considered "lost" until 30+ days after shipping.
♥ 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. *Shipping carriers/shipping insurance companies have increased their wait-time for a package to be considered officially lost due to the global shipping difficulties we are currently experiencing.
Additional policies and FAQs
I HAVE DISCONTINUED INTERNATIONAL SALES DUE TO TRAVEL BANS/ RESTRICTIONS.
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. (Marking an order as a gift removes the 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 to an item purchased from me. There is a $10/per item fee for this added personalization. https://www.etsy.com/lauriesgiftsbiz/listing/252642799
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 cases where your package is damaged, or goes missing in shipping-- an Official Affidavit may need to be filed by you via the USPS 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.
