Aprons
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.
