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)

NEW & IMPROVED! No7:2 ochre canvas!

This apron design has been in the range for 3 years now, in a navy/white fine stripe denim with red straps, it has lots of great features but the stripey fabric did tend to hide them – but this ochre cotton canvas shows them off in all their glory! The original design has also been improved by adding a large pocket to the skirt, for phone/notebook.

The front ‘split leg’ feature offers plenty of movement and ensures each leg is well covered while seated at the potters wheel or workbench. There is an array of pockets: a wide set of pockets with 4 compartments set at waist height for easy access when sitting, a breast pocket with two compartments for small tools, pencils etc, a large pocket on the side of the skirt for larger tools, notebook or phone – there’s also a fabric loop for hanging a cleaning cloth or keys. An extremely comfortable crosback strap design adjusts to fit perfectly across a wide size range and accommodates extra layers in a chilly studio!

Working on a new apron

Lately I’ve been working on this calico toile and pattern, following an enquiry about making a split leg tie apron like the pleated No14:2 but without pleats.

Pleats help give a lot of fabric coverage, so without them the apron needed a much bigger skirt overlap – but it does give lots more space for a much bigger skirt pocket, an angled pocket with sections for tools and a loop to hang your cleaning cloth!
