Janet Clare's Artisan Apron

I had two small(ish) boys and working from home, I found myself getting distracted by all the chores and housework and not really getting much work done. After much thinking I realised that if I had a work uniform I would feel and look like I was at work. So I designed and made my Artisan Apron which is so lovely, embroidered and special that I dont clean the house or brush the dog instead of working because I dont want to spoil my pinny! As time has gone on Ive added embroidered sayings and mottos such as she believed she could and so she did and badges and bits of lace and buttons and now when I put on my apron in the morning I feel creative and inspired and ready for work.

My Artisan Apron is inspired by a vintage pinny and has curved seams, pockets and a cross-over back. It is comfortable to wear and not that tricky to make either. The curved and cross-over shape of the back pieces allow the apron to expand and flare out to allow for a wider variety of sizes to wear it.
