The Harvest Apron is our apron design that was months in the making. The cross straps make it simple to pull over the head and fit comfortably on most body sizes. It simply adjusts itself. This apron has pockets with generous space and is perfect for filling with tools, kitchen utensils, paintbrushes, or fruit from the garden. “Gather” your tools to make something new or gather your ingredients so you can gather your people around the table! This is an innovative & roomy one-size-fits-most design!

The Story:
We began sewing in the early days of 2nd Story Goods, way back in 2011. Today, our in-house sewing group is made up of 2 men and 4 women. Most of our fabric is bought and up-cycled from the surplus in the local market. If you ever find yourself at our homebase in Gonaives, joyful singing and laughter can often be heard in conjunction with the hum of the sewing machines. It is one of our very favorite sounds!
Josias is our local screen-printer who makes our word patches. His method involves taking the design and transferring it to his DYI screen using emulsion and a few long minutes exposed to the Caribbean sunshine. We are amazed at his tenacity and creative capabilities!
I love this apron and especially love that it comes up to my neckline, covering all of my clothes when cooking. If you were to make a child sized version of this apron, it would fly off the shelves!! So cute and functional! Highly recommend for cooking and gardening!
