Split Leg Tie Apron for Potters, Artists & Makers. No14:3 Ochre Canvas
Ochre canvas, beige soft herringbone ties and a little flash of red on the D-ring tab, make this a striking yet utterly functional workwear apron. Inspired by heritage pottery aprons but incorporating updated features for the modern maker; a split leg skirt with generous crossover allowing extra coverage (so you don’t spend time arranging it over your legs), angled ‘wonky pocket’ for easy access when seated, another larger skirt pocket, good size bib pocket, ‘tool loop’ handy for hanging a cleaning cloth, soft woven ties. Beautifully sewn, thoughtfully designed and made-to-last, this apron is highly specialised craftsperson’s workwear.

ABOUT: 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’.
