4 Ways Splash Fabric Keeps it Green
As a former park ranger- it goes without saying that protecting the environment is very important to me and was a reason I founded Splash Fabric in the first place (back when it was ImpWear). Since starting this business, sustainability and eco-friendliness has been in the forefront of every decision I make running Splash Fabric; so in honor of Earth Day this week here are four ways that we run a 'green ship' around here!
9 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do with a Splash Fabric Apron!
Our laminated cotton makes the best aprons! No muss, no fuss. With Splash Fabric you can just wipe it clean or throw it in the wash and hang dry. It's fun to get messy when you don't have to worry about the clean up!
Getting dirty or hoping to stay clean. Our aprons are not afraid of dirt, work & all your projects!
Here are 9 things you didn't know you can do with your apron!
1. House cleaning
And we mean cleaning the inside OR outside of your house. Whether you are cleaning the floor, bath, kitchen, front door, windows, or the gutters- our aprons will keep up and keep you clean.
2. Cooking
Found a new delicious recipe you are eager to try out? Want to fire up the grill for friends? Or do you want to finally teach your spouse how to bake you a cake? Aprons and kitchens are an obvious match made in heaven!
3. Dishwashing
In case your dishwasher breaks or you are not using one- if there is water involved trust Splash Fabric aprons to make your life easier and keep your body dryer!
4. Baking with the kids/grandkids
I don't care how much experience you have baking with kids, it's always going to be messy. Thanks to Splash Fabric aprons - you don't even have to pretend that this time it will be different.
5. Barbecuing
Be honest, how many times have you barbecued without an apron? And how many times have you regretted it? Exactly.
6. Gardening
Instead of dressing up your in your worst clothes to avoid getting your good clothes dirty, we suggest covering up using Splash Fabric aprons. Your clothes will thank you! (And so will your apron because aprons like fresh air too!)
7. Crafting
Do you sew, knit, paint, or scrapbook? Wearing an apron keeps your creations on the canvas, table, paper, wall, or desk- and off of your clothes! (Also the pockets are SUPER handy for everything your creativity calls you to keep on hand.)
8. Pottery
Speaking of artistic pursuits- let's talk about one of the coolest...but messiest. Pottery! Give your mind a break and don't worry about all of the random and unexpected clay splashes. Even if you are skillful potter, the person next to you might not be.
9. Dog washing
It needs to be done and it will be wet! Ease the process for you and your four legged friend by wearing an apron!

Meet the Maker- Birthday Edition
Happy birthday to me!
Today is my birthday and in honor of my birthday, I thought that this is also a great time for a Meet the Maker post to help you get to know me better and to share more about why I do what I do!
I love to draw, create, problem solve and bring joy. I also LOVE FABRIC.
I love my customers. They send me nice notes, reviews, and recommend Splash Fabric to others every day.
I also get to support and make jobs for many people in my community. During our mask mission in the heart of the pandemic, we supported 25 mostly immigrant women with full time work on which their families rely (click here to read more about the amazing people who help make our wonderful products). We pumped $450k into the local economy and are still pumping away, thanks to all your support.
I love the process of building a business. First I made kids clothes while my kids were little. Then I remodeled a series of rental houses. Now it's laminated cotton products and fabric design.
It's all about solving the next problem that is in front of me. There is an endless supply in business and sometimes triage is necessary.
Through Splash Fabric, I get to bring joy to my customers who love our tablecloths, aprons, and bags and more; as well as those who love to sew with our magic fabrics.
It wasn't until my kids were grown that this former art teacher, outdoor enthusiast, and pattern-lover took the leap and started Splash Fabric.
I believe my greatest moments grew out of taking those big leaps and making a big SPLASH!
If I can do it, you can too!
Design Story: ORCAS
Behind every design there's a story. That's often times how we name our products. Orcas was one of our original designs. A simple nod to the blues of the Puget Sound in the summertime.
