While it probably seems like all is quiet on the sewing home-front, I’ve actually been busily sewing behind the scenes…. making aprons. Five of them in fact – and I’m keeping one for myself (finally). While they look fairly straightforward, they are actually a time consuming project (which is why I make them in ‘batches’ – there’s just no profitability otherwise). I typically enjoy making these, but I believe that this particular project has finally run it’s course as I didn’t have as much fun sewing these up as what I usually do. It’s a good thing too because I probably have enough fabric to make 2 (possibly 3 if I can eek out enough material) more. Now it’s time to find material for my new Lady Grey coat pattern! Any suggestions other than wool?

Love the Wonder Woman apron!
I was thinking this coat was made from fleece… could that be an option???

Your WW apron is sew cool. I am going to tell my sister-in-law to check it out. She is in to the apron swaps. She’ll love it I’m sure.
About the coat, try a cotton pique and line it with a nice cotton print. That would be awesome for spring!
Those are great aprons Stacy! Totally cool.
What about twill or trench coat fabric?
Or colored denim?
Hi Stacy. What about corduroy for the coat? I think the natural “stripe” of the corduroy might give sort of a bias-look in places. Like on the collar. You could even make some pieces bias on purpose just for design detail, if you wanted to.
Or what about a microfiber fabric? I always love the feel of a coat made out of that.
And your apron is very cute. I’m glad you finally kept one for yourself.
