I’m Erika, the owner and maker behind Portland Apron Company. I started PAC in 2012 with the desire to make a variety of handmade aprons with sustainability in mind. I love sewing, and really enjoy supporting and connecting with other entrepreneurs and small businesses.

I've worked with a variety of other creatives to make aprons for their cafes, floral boutiques, and workshops. Its amazing to see how many people need an apron. Teachers, artists, florists, bakers, chefs, food bloggers, make-up artists, baristas...the list goes on. I make aprons in many styles and fabrics to offer something that suits everyone's needs. Whether you need a waist apron, full apron, or smock, I've got you covered.

I received a Bachelor of Science in Communication Studies from Portland State University, and spent most of my childhood sewing alongside my mom, who is a gifted seamstress. She was the first to introduce me to the wonderful world of sewing, and helped me gain the confidence in it that I use today.

I think it's important we all do our part in keeping our planet clean and well taken care of, so I only use organic and sustainable fabrics, avoid waste when cutting a pattern, and donate and recycle my fabric scraps. I also give back as much as I can, and support local charities by donating an apron for auction several times a year.

If you ever have any questions, or would like to inquire about a custom order,just get in touch!
