No23:2 in black canvas – my ultimate crafters apron, packed with useful features! Split leg skirt, cargo pockets, skirt pocket, crossback adjustable straps, tough cotton canvas…and comfy too. Split leg aprons are great for ‘sitting down’ type of making activities, opening to give more movement and comfort. With this in mind I did lots of work on the design of the bib/cargo pockets so that they remain upright and accessible when the wearer is seated.

NEW hickory denim craft apron…
The classic combination of red, white and blue – red herringbone tape adjustable straps with navy and white fine stripe Hickory (Railroad) denim. A split skirt allows plenty of movement and good coverage, the pockets have lots of compartments for tools and the crossback soft straps tie to D-rings- easy to adjust for a wide size range and fit over extra layers of clothing in a chilly studio!
Potters pinafore in development…
January is such a quiet month – but a good time to get to grips with the new ideas circling in my head and all the sketches I’ve scribbled on scraps of paper over the last few months when I was busy making potters/craft aprons for Christmas.
This is a split skirt version of the pleated pinafore apron that proved popular last year. I love this soft traditional ticking fabric, but to look good, a patterned fabric needs a simpler design so it doesn’t look jumbled. The bib is flat, double fabric, rather than pleated, with a pocket added; the seam pockets didn’t work well so close to the front split, so I placed patch pockets at the back; the waist ties are longer, allowing them to be tied at the front too. Hopefully I can get a couple of these photographed on a model and in the Folksy/Etsy shops by the end of the month.
New Craft/Potters Aprons
I’ve added two new crossback apron designs in the Etsy/Folksy shops. Variations on my two most popular work aprons, these have split skirts designed for potters and useful for a variety of different crafts, home/garden.
