Apron workshop coming up 23rd August 10-4pm.
We have a choice of three patterns all cross overs at the back.
1. Japanese style x- over with straight edges at the hem or
2. Japanese Style x- over with a rounded hem if you wish to learn how to use an overlocker at the same time. Linen/ cotton/Denim 1mtr 75 x 150cms wide - two way print.
3. My latest version of a pinafore apron based on a 1960s mini shift dress, altered to have a full cross-over back - see my sketch making it wearable as a pinafore dress- to cover your clothes!
It would be great in cotton/ denim / cord or tweed for winter in the kitchen or garden. Be sure to buy a minimum of 2.5mtrs x 150cms wide. If you are tall or have a one way nap/print please add at least half a metre to this length.
Product Details
Come and join us for a relaxed day of stitching. Create your very own one size apron or simple pinafore in a cross over Japanese style, to suit your size and height in a colour of your choice. Please get in touch in advance to plan the purchase of your chosen fabric. It is possible to recycle a preloved tablecloth for this project as long as the width is suitable.
By the end of the day you will have learned how to work from a pattern, use the overlocker and or your own machine or ours and completed a beautiful linen/cotton apron with large patch pockets to take away.

The 60's style pinafore apron can be worn as a dress and takes a minimum of 2.5mtrs x 150cms wide. If you are tall or want to buy a one way print or corduroy please add at least half a metre to this length.
