BRAND NEW APRON DESIGN!

I’ve been working on this one for quite a while now, over a year in fact, trying to produce a work apron that is simple and easy to wear, has well thought out functional details, has a lower price point, and of course looks great too!

The pocket sizes I’ve chosen to fit a variety of tools, notebooks, phone and devices, and the little square one is also handy for a little snack! I particularly love the arrangement of colour combinations, the soft natural unbleached canvas with it’s tiny dark flecks, the big bright yellow pocket and stark black pockets and straps.

Now available in my shops: In The Making – Aprons Online Shop No24 Unbleached (UK & USA) • Folksy In The Making Aprons No24 Unbleached (UK & EU) • Etsy In The Making Aprons, No24 Unbleached (UK, EU, USA)

Re-photos with new lights

Waiting for good light for taking photos in the studio is so frustrating! I bought some softbox lights to see if that would help, it does help a bit, I took some really nice pictures last week… but I think the real answer to the problem is a new camera!

New apron for the Boro Collection No16.6

Constructed using denim remnants left from making my No4 aprons, balancing the shade differences to piece together one unique garment. Taking inspiration from Japanese Boro clothing and vintage French and American rustic aprons, my Boro Collection reduces waste whilst creating something useful and unusual that will last for years to come. This apron uses the No4:6 pattern, with asymmetric bib, crossback strapa and overlapped split skirt – a super comfortable design in medium weight denim. It’s worked so well I want to copy it to include in the main range!

NEW limited edition apron

This deep forest green brushed twill fabric is wonderfully ‘strokeable’… but I only have enough for 4 aprons! It’s the new No23:1 design, with all the comfort of a crossback apron, combined with the snug fit of a tie apron, or, leave open for an easy-fit. The row of front bib pockets and large skirt pocket come in very handy in the studio or garden.

NEW Potters Apron …

A new split leg, crossback apron in my Folksy and Etsy shops. The medium-weight hickory stripe denim fabric is a workwear classic, it gives great protection for all sorts of crafts, home & garden. I haven’t used a stripe fabric for a while… sewing the curved edges of the bib makes my eyes go funny! Also, after getting a few requests, I have introduced a Petite Size UK6-10 (152-160cm/ 5′-5’3″).
