New video! It's 47 minutes and I make some fancy aprons.

My main inspiration was this lovely illustration from a 1916 book.

Plus that style of 18th-19th c. workman's apron that buttons onto the waistcoat.

it's been a while since i promoted it (because stupid england decided to leave the EU all that time ago but then like last year (?) they introduced even MORE hurdles and now small businesses have to get a bunch of extra qualifications to sell abroad and i just REALLY can't get my head around it) BUT... to my friends in england, my local friends in the same country as me, (england) my ko-fi storefront is still active with a bunch of tote bags & even a couple aprons and oven gloves. plus stickers of course.

i'm afraid i can't discount anything because i need the cash but i HOPE the prices can be considered fair (custom fabric is not cheap)

sooo if you're looking for yuletide gifts (and, again, you're local to me, in england) then... please consider my shop?

Found this apron at the bins today, I hope it found it's forever home 🤣

Miniature Monday!

Don't fret about arsenic because this lace isn't very old! Created in 2010, Tie One On! A Miniature History of the Apron was designed to give a short history of aprons from the 1930s to the 1960s. The images of stylish ladies wearing aprons were taken from vintage patterns, and the edges of the pages have been stylized to look like the cotton lace that is attached to the backboard.

This mini measures in at 4.5 by 4.5 inches and includes 8 pages of information about aprons. It's an accordion style binding which means that it can fold out and often features information on both sides of the book. This particular mini doesn't have any extra words on the reverse side, but does feature some more of the ladies from vintage patterns!
