Found some time to re-photograph set of aprons – lucky to have my daughter at home to model them for me! From time to time I dig around in my huge pile of fabric remnants, leftover from cutting out aprons, and piece some together to make aprons … and other useful things. Inspired by Japanese ‘Boro’ and French & American vintage rustic aprons – reducing waste and creating something useful and unique, that will last for many years to come.

New ‘Boro’ style aprons…
I listed a new apron range on Etsy today!
Individual and unusual aprons pieced together from offcuts of denim and other cotton fabrics left from making the aprons in the In The Making range – taking inspiration from Japanese Boro clothing and vintage French and American rustic aprons, which were made from collected fabric scraps and usuable parts of worn out clothing.
I laid bits of fabric out on a big table and pieced each apron together like a jigsaw, balancing the different blue denim tones and complementing with contrasting ticking and red canvas.
