Even though I'm still stuck on costumey stuff, I decided to make today a sewing day, since I had the opportunity.

So, aprons!

This is for work, since I usually like to wear an apron when I'm at Treadle.  It's a Kokka cotton/linen print with sewing notions.  The pocket and ties are another cotton/linen Kokka with thread spools.  The apron is a rectangle with two inverted box pleats at the waist for shape.  The rounded pocket also has an inverted box pleat and a little yo-yo done in a Lotta Jansdotter print (dang, I feel pretty designer-y today).

And one for the kitchen.  Lemons and pindots on green.

I love the cross-back for practical wear; I can't stand a strap around my neck and this way the straps don't slip off my shoulders.  In the past, I've used buttons and snaps with this kind of setup.  I liked the snaps best but they also required the most frequent repairing.  The ties are meant to cross around the body to the front to be tied.
