Stripe and Floral Half Apron

My newest passion is making aprons.  I love to look at them for some strange reason.  So, since I have been sewing for so long, I have decided to start designing and making some great aprons.  My first apron is a half apron with a chocolate brown background with stripes and floral designs in green, pink, blue, and orange.http://www.etsy.com/listing/78830150/half-apron-in-stripes-floral-blue I have lined the apron in a solid brown fabric.  I have loved this fabric for a while.  The stripes and the floral design goes together so well.  I loved the fabric so much that I even made a purse out of it. 
I am a vendor at 2 farmers markets a week- The LaCenterra Farmers Market in Katy, Texas and The Spring Branch Farmers Market in the Spring Branch area in Texas.  Last week I put the apron on the table and had several people look at it with some interest.  Most everyone enjoyed it, however, almost everyone said that they prefer full length aprons compared to the half aprons. With this said I am going to make lots of aprons that are full length.  Personally I would like a full length apron also.  When I am making my soaps and other bath products I wear a thick canvas one.  It is really for cooking outdoors but I like that it protects my clothes
 from oils spills and splashes.  So here I go diving into a new and exciting product that I have been wanting to try for some time.
