New designers: Gillian Kyle’s kitchen textiles
by homeshoppingspy • Saturday, June 9, 2012 • Designer secrets • 7 Comments
I do love a good apron. As soon as I get home I like to don my H&M sackcloth number. I feel more productive in an apron – I can bake a cake, paint furniture, clean the house, indulge in a spot of gardening. If you too have a thing for aprons you might like Gillian Kyle‘s rather fetching designs that would put anyone, faced with housework, in a cheery mood. Hailing from sunny Glasgow she takes inspiration from iconic Scottish food packaging including Tunnock’s Teacakes and Caramel Wafers (yum!), Scotts Porridge Oats and Creamola Foam (a 1950s soft drink that used to come in the form of soluble crystals – had to Wikipedia that one)!
The aprons cost £17.95 each and you’ll also find tea towels, bags and mugs to match. All available on-line from Gillian Kyle’s website. Happy browsing. - Alice

Oooooohhh these designs are great! I love the scale of the illustrations.
I too can do anything once I’m wearing an apron… but usually it’s just more mess!!!
love the orange selection…. inspiration for a colour change in my kitchen.
