Adult aprons

These are a new line.  The pattern came from a free online source, but I adapted it considerably!  It turned out well, I think, but was much more time consuming to make than the other aprons.  There were favourable comments when I put them out for sale, but none were actually bought on the first occasion.  We shall see how it goes.

Money apron

This was an adaptation of the peg apron.  I have been using a money belt for takings at fairs, but it gets a bit fiddly at times.  So I designed myself an apron.  As you can see, there are jean pockets on the outside. Then there is a divided pocket behind that, and two more jean pockets inside the apron.  I use these for notes; the large pockets (originally for pegs) for coins, with £1 coins separated from the rest, and the outer pockets hold a pen and my cards.  It has been so useful.  I made  a second one, and sold it on its first outing!

Peg aprons

A variation on / combination of two earlier projects - peg bags and aprons!  These worked out rather well, I think - though I haven't sold any yet!  Hoping they will be spotted for Christmas presents later in the year, if not before.

More aprons

Since putting up my first aprons for sale, they have sold really well.  I love being able to vary the bindings, making "girl" and "boy" versions.  I have been able to make a range of sizes - it just depends on the jeans length.  At the first sale I sold half the stock, so making replacements was a priority.

Courtesy of a long skirt, I managed to make one adult sized apron.  It was snapped up at the very next sale!

Aprons

These are almost a commission!  I don't normally do commissions, but someone at Church asked if I had ever thought of making aprons from old jeans.  Well, I hadn't - till then. But once the idea was in my head...

Yes, I made quite a lot of them (15 so far).  I made a variety of sizes too.  I like all of these, but this one has to be my favourite so far:

I knew there was a reason I was saving those embroidered jeans!
