White cloth worked with red stem-stitch outlines, as on the vintage teacup apron shown here.

What are the three settings?

White metro tiles, a farmhouse wall beside a shelf of jars, and a close detail on the stitching. The aprons hang from a hook in the first two.

Can I type a different design?

Yes. Type a fruit, a herb or a thread colour as a direction. A typed direction is a request for a new picture, not a promised result.

Apron embroidery designs: lemons, herb pocket, vintage redwork

Apron embroidery designs — a natural linen apron with a branch of yellow lemons and glossy green leaves in satin stitch across the bib, a few white blossoms between them, against white metro tiles, soft daylight from a window at camera-left, a bright clean balance with a gentle shadow of the apron on the tiles

A cook, a baker or a market stall stitching an apron looks first at the bib and the pocket. These pictures show a natural linen apron with lemons across the bib, a sage cotton apron with stitched rosemary, thyme and basil in its pocket, and a white redwork apron with a teapot, two cups and a sugar bowl along the hem. Type a fruit or a thread colour as a direction, such as cherries or blue thread.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
