I picked up a box of leather shop aprons for about $25. It also had some regular leather and some hardware. It had about 8 soft leather aprons rolled up in the box. Doesn't look like they were used for metal work, maybe a high school shop or something like that. Most of them are a soft blue, green or tan color. I've been scratching my head trying to find a project that I can make with them. My first project was to make an apron for myself, with pockets. I'm open for ideas. I looked on Etsy for pattern ideas, but they are all firm leather projects, except maybe some toys.
