Momomadeit is run by Joan, who retired from the work force to find out that retirement did not suit her. Therefore she opened up her apron business at the suggestion of her daughter-in-law and has been blazing since October 2006.
Joan says, "My aprons are made in the traditional fashion with an emphasis on style and function. I'm not big on frills, so I seldom do anything that is "over the top" with trims and embellishments. I believe that a good apron is like a second skin - you put it on and after a while forget you are wearing it."
Joan is also lucky to have her daughters do “Photo shoots” for her and they are always fast, furious, and mostly fun!
Joan's aprons have been featured in the book "A Is For Aprons,” they have been on "Good Morning America," and one is scheduled to appear on a Food Netwook show later this fall. And Joan's currently under contract with Simplicity Patterns - watch for Momomadeit patterns later this year!
When Joan was growing up she remembers watching her mom run yards of fabric through the sewing machine. Joan's mom would keep her busy by letting her cut up scraps of fabric (with her huge silver scissors), and sew them, first by hand, and then by machine. By junior high Joan was making and wearing her own clothes and in high school, she was the "seamstress for the band," making the guys matching polka dot shirts and corduroy jackets.
So moving into making aprons was as easy as breathing to become Momomadeit!! Her aprons are vast and beautiful, wonderfully constructed and fashionable!
Now to enter the random drawing for your choice at the Momomadeit Etsy store, go visit the selections choosing your favorite. Come back to The Apron Goddesses and make a comment below naming which apron you would like to win.

Good luck Apron Goddesses!

My favorite aproon is the one called Pretty Paperweights. It's stunning (like all the others) but being that I'm a rather buxom lass, this roomier style would fit me wondrously.
I really like the Coffee with Cream Flirty Everyday Housewife apron, but it's a really tough choice! So many beautiful aprons!!!
They're all very pretty. I think my favorite is the Flirty Everyday Housewife Apron in the Berry Delicious fabric. The cherries are really cute.
I LOVE the Over The Moon Apron: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28349683 Its amazing!! He he.. I have a pic of my hubby wearing an apron.. im gonna send it over..LOL!!
Over the moon.. I'm over the moon for that apron and for my bloggy pal, THE GODDESS who keeps the good stuff rolling in even when friends SUCK at keeping in touch.. read: I SUCK!
I love the flirty housewives apron in Sole. Thanks.
I really like the Flirty Everyday Housewife Apron in Cherry Limeade
My choice would be the Flirty Everyday Housewife Apron in the blue cabbages, but you all knew that since blue is my favorite color.....
I will definitely mention Joan on my blog, www.sno-wear.blogspot.com....
and I really love that you are highlighting all the wonderful apronistas that send in their photos and stories.
I love so many of them -- how can I pick just one! I like the SWEET, EARTHY AND FLIRTY Everyday Housewife Apron and the flirty aprons with the roses too. Thanks for the giveaway! mybabyappleseed(at)yahoo(dot)ca

I'm always looking for something original to wear in my youtube cooking videos. I have over 800 subscribers and I can't wear the same thing twice. LOL!
The problem is they are so pretty, you'd want to wear another apron to protect this apron. (^_^)
My favorite apron is http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26375969
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29199533 is a very close second

I think my favorite is the Flirty Everyday Housewife apron in Black and White elegance. Very pretty. But I do want to say that I LOOOOOOVE the neckline on the maternity aprons. I really would like to see that style of apron with maybe a tie back to make it a little more figure flattering for the non-expecting. Everything is really cute! I just bought my first home, and seeing all of your cute things makes me want to be in the kitchen a little more!

After spending close to a half hour at her sight (okay, so it's been a while since I've had time to browse through aprons!) I've decided that my favorite is the Flirty Everyday Housewife Apron in "classic black and white elegance." I know it's already pictured here, but it's my fav. But to prove I was there, I had a hard time choosing between that one and the orange pattern described as "be-witch-ing" which is gaw-geous.
I LOVE the Flirty Everyday Housewife Apron!!!
