Upcycled Patchwork Bag 003

I can’t bear to throw fabric away, even scraps, knowing all the processes that went into making it and the thought of adding more textile waste to landfill. Making something useful from odd shape scraps of fabric is a challenge. I often get very narrow strips of fabric leftover after cutting out apron – here I’ve been experimenting with joining those strips of fabric to make a good size bag. More work needed to incorporate an internal pocket and an interesting strap.

NEW apron fabric/colour…

A new fabric, colour and extra pocket for the No 4:5! A good sturdy cotton canvas in a lovely warm ‘curry’ shade and a roomy pocket added on one side of the apron skirt.

The split leg skirt construction gives lots of movement, whilst ensuring each leg is perfectly covered when sitting at the wheel or work bench – this is the perfect apron for sitting down type crafts! The crossback design is fantastically comfortable to wear all day long.
