Work apron commission from ‘Robyn Coetzee Glass Designs’ finished and delivered this week. A split skirt, crossback apron in dark denim, with a waterproof fabric bib. Robyn was keen to have her logo on the bib; this was neatly resolved by having Robyn’s logo printed on to waterproof fabric, that I stitched to the denim bib. I used ‘Contrado/Bags of Love‘, a UK company that prints any image you supply, on to a huge range of different types of fabric, (eg. jerseys, canvas, silk, velvet, cottons…) within a couple of days!

Repeat custom order…
This morning I posted a custom No4:2 denim crossback apron to Sarah at Mojo & the Maker. It’s the second one I’ve made for her; the first was a year ago, when between us, we were able to use the No7 apron she already had as a template, pinning on bits of paper, measuring, photographing, messaging, until it was just right.
Custom order went out today…
An order for four 4:3 aprons in ochre denim, blue denim and one blue denim with red straps (to go with the charcoal denim with red straps they ordered last week). The aprons are for for an art conservators studio in central London.
Custom order finished…
A bespoke order for Much Ado Books in Sussex, finished and posted off. The apron is a variation on a classic shape, cut a bit wider for extra coverage because they deal with a lot of dusty boxes of old books, they also requested longer ties to tie up at the front. I showed them some diagrams of different colourways and they chose the ochre denim with burgundy colour ties for the men’s size and dark green ties for the smaller women’s size. I used ‘antique bronze’ metal D-rings (for the first time) from U-handbag which worked beautifully for these aprons.
Custom No7…
I had a lovely custom job for Sarah Myatt Glass https://folksy.com/shops/SarahMyattGlass last week. A No7 ochre/red with big side pocket (front ones fill with glass bits!) and bigger chest pocket, completed with red stitching! It’s so interesting finding out about how other craftspeople use their materials, and to be able to design aprons that really work for them.
