Lately I’ve been working on this calico toile and pattern, following an enquiry about making a split leg tie apron like the pleated No14:2 but without pleats.
Pleats help give a lot of fabric coverage, so without them the apron needed a much bigger skirt overlap – but it does give lots more space for a much bigger skirt pocket, an angled pocket with sections for tools and a loop to hang your cleaning cloth!
Gorgeous, thick organic cotton apron, milky cream denim with stripe denim details. Super comfortable crossback design, split leg skirt and 3 roomy pockets. Now in Folksy and Etsy shops. Something about it reminds me of the old days of dairies and milkman, my Mum’s first job, in 1960, was as a milk analyst at a dairy in West London!
Finally got the first No23 apron in the Folksy & Etsy shops, it’s been a long time in development. The adjustable crossback design combines the comfort of a crossback apron with the snug fit of a tie apron, or, you can leave the ties knotted for an easy fit!
This apron was developed to be able to use smaller pieces of fabric and combining different fabrics in one apron, with the idea of reducing waste, upcycling and recycling. I’m currently making samples of a split skirt version with cargo pockets, which I’ve already sold to clients making custom orders.
