for saucy tarts, sweet peas and cupcake lovers


it's been a dream of mine to have my own little apron collection since i was a little girl. there was always something that kept me away from doing it - a busy job, another book project or simply the stack of unread books piling up in my office.
ilva's call to show our favourite apron gave me the last kick i needed to finally spend an evening with my sewing machine. and here it is: my first little collection of once upon a tart - aprons for saucy little tarts, sweet peas and cupcakelovers. more styles and quotes will follow in the future - but i hope my first ones will win your heart.


these aprons are made of high quality cotton & can be washed at a high temperature in the washing machine (to get those raspberries & chocolate stains out!). they are 60 x 80 cm wide and even fit my -rather large- browniebabe hips.

each apron is 20 US $ / 19 euros plus postage (8 US$ for economy, 14 US$ for priority mail if you live in the US / 5 euros for economy, 10 euros for priority mail if you live in europe). if you would like to order an apron, simply e-mail to onceuponatart AT yahoo DOT de. paying is easy through paypal (i will give you all info you need via e-mail).

you can also order a custom made apron with an embroidery of your name (or the one of your favourite sweet pea...). it's available for an extra 3 US $, various colours are available for the embroidery (from orange to black), apron is available in white only, more colours will follow in the future.

  4. I love these!! I don't usually wear an apron, but these would make me change my mind!! How much is postage to the US? And I don't know what you are talking about - you are tiny!! I don't know how you eat tarts and still stay so thin!

  6. These are so pretty Myriam! I didn't know you made them yourself. What kind of machine do you use? I have a no frills Brother LS 1520, but have been looking at a new machine for the past couple of months.

    I think I might put an order, not sure yet. I'll let you know.

  14. i love these...but i have a problem with whites, it's why i hardly ever have white clothing cause i never keep them clean. the first day i put it on, i'll get some horrendous stain tht'll never come off..

    if it's alright by you, keep me posted when you do come out with more colours! i've definitely got my eye set on 'saucy little tart' and the others will be bought for friends i'm sure...they make great gifts!x
