Flour Sack Girls

Every kitchen has a few happy secrets.

Long before kitchens were filled with matching appliances and designer décor, flour sacks were washed, stitched, embroidered, and lovingly transformed into aprons that became part of everyday family life. The Flour Sack Girls Collection celebrates that enduring tradition with cheerful patterns, vintage charm, and the comforting simplicity of aprons made to be used, loved, and lived in.

Inspired by sunny kitchens, clotheslines dancing in the breeze, handwritten recipes tucked into well-worn cookbooks, and afternoons spent baking with the people we love, each handcrafted apron captures the warmth of a home where everyone is welcome and laughter is always close at hand.

Crafted in the Kitchen Mechanic Mercantile's signature crossbody style, every apron features wide shoulder straps for exceptional comfort and a generously sized front pocket for recipes, garden harvests, wooden spoons, or the little treasures gathered throughout the day. Thoughtfully handcrafted in small batches, they're designed to become faithful companions in kitchens where memories are made one meal at a time.

So tie on an apron, dust the counter with flour, and don't worry if a little laughter finds its way into the recipe.

Those are usually the best batches anyway.

From the Mercantile

The Flour Sack Girls are the McGill girls from McGill's Curb Market, just a short stroll down the street from the Mercantile. They were delighted to model these aprons, though we're fairly certain they agreed only after someone mentioned there would be fresh lemonade and a slice of pie waiting when the photographs were finished.
