Aprons

 Aprons

After ruining most everything I wear, I  have learned it's best to just 

always wear an apron. I seem to be an exceptionally messy worker.

Throughout the years I have modified and repaired dozens of aprons

and never really thought to photograph them.

Fortunately, I was able to dig up a few photos to use as reference as it's time to make/ purchase a few new ones.  I like to have several as a couple are always in the laundry basket awaiting laundry day.

Most of my aprons have ended up being more patchwork than the original apron.  They develop such personality over time and I love them all the more, however, they do get to a point they can no longer be repaired and I need to start over.

I was discussing this with a group during a workshop and we have decide to do this as a workshop together.  We will add embroidered patches, broches and awards to them over time.  So, I have ordered a bunch of plain black (with pockets, of course!) 100% cotton aprons for us to use as the basic background.  I'm really looking forward to this group project.  Should be a lot of fun!
