NEW! Gardening Apron with Harvesting Pouch and Pockets for Secateurs and Phone. Tan Canvas

£160.00

Gardening apron with an ingenious drawstring skirt feature that forms a huge harvesting pouch (waist ties insert through drawstring loops for hands-free harvesting). The skirt has a large pouch pocket for gardening gloves, small garden tools, seed packets etc and the side pockets for secateurs and phone hang from the waistband so they don't dig in to you. A fabulous gift for gardening enthusiasts this apron is very thoughtfully designed, specialised gardening workwear that is skillfully sewn and made-to-last.

**My USA shipping will be temporarily suspended 22 Aug-30 Sept 2025. New US customs & tariffs come into force on 29th August 2025, which will inevitably lead to delays and lost parcels for a while - I don't want to lose any of the aprons & bags I've made so I'll wait until the new customs systems 'bed in' before re-starting US shipping. Details are yet to be confirmed but it looks like the tariff on goods from the UK will probably add just over 10% to prices.

ABOUT: I really appreciate the meditative value of time spent in the garden - this apron came about because I needed special size/shape pockets which only an apron could provide - a pocket for secateurs (because I'm always misplacing them), phone pocket (because my kids insist I'm contactable at all times!), big pocket and pouch for harvesting veg, carrying cuttings or weeds. It's based on the No14:3 apron with it's strong secure waistband to take the weight of stuff carried in the pockets.

Working in my studio in hilly-leafy South-East London, I make aprons in small batches using cotton canvas, denim or drill - fabrics that are natural, washable and durable. Careful attention to detail, strength of construction and beautiful stitching result in a quality of finish simply not possible in mass production. I cut fabric economically, minimising waste and saving the small remnants to make one-of-a-kind bags for my ‘Boro Collection’.
