Members Hags Posted December 4, 2021 Members Report Posted December 4, 2021 I had a piece of softer leather hanging around and nothing on the bench. Merry Christmas to me! I used 7/8 oz Hermann Oak for the tooled pieces, Hermann Oak 4/5 oz for the straps. Basket weave just because. I have never made an apron like this and can see room for improvement. The stitching on the top of the pocket is because I got so into the machine I just went right around the corner and sewed the dang thing shut! Pulled it out to the corners and hand stitched the top so the holes didn't look like I was ... I made a yoke for the back and it is tooled with my makers mark as well. It has a short drop to a loop for the waist strap. Anyway, i like it and can't wait to get dye all over it.. Quote Not so retired RN. Living on the Washington Peninsula.

Members Matt S Posted December 4, 2021 Members Report Posted December 4, 2021 Nice work @Hags! Maybe I should build such a thing and look a little less disreputable with dye and glue over all my clothes. Do you not feel exposed with those pointy ends hanging out of the tool loops? I see you're in Sequim. The racing cutter Tally Ho was being rebuilt there until her owner had to move to Port Townsend this summer. Don't suppose you visited? Quote
Members Hags Posted December 4, 2021 Author Members Report Posted December 4, 2021 Did not visit Tally Ho. But if you're in the area about September the wooden boat show in Port Townsend is very interesting. And no, I'm not worried about the pointy ends. I did consider pockets, but ultimately settled on what I have. I dont sit except to do tooling and dont wear the apron for that. This is more for use around the cutting bench and sewing station. Thanks guys. Quote Not so retired RN. Living on the Washington Peninsula.
Members YinTx Posted December 5, 2021 Members Report Posted December 5, 2021 I like it, but I'm sure I'd figure out how to impale myself on some of those implements. YinTx Quote YinTx https://www.instagram.com/lanasia_2017/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK6HvLWuZTzjt3MbR0Yhcj_WIQIvchezo

Mate I'd love to go, it looks lush but I've already got one obligatory trip abroad next year and getting hitched so the holiday time and budget's already spoken for! Quote
Members Hags Posted December 5, 2021 Author Members Report Posted December 5, 2021 Too bad Matt, could've treated you to a day on the golf course here. And all those sharp implements rest on a layer of 7/8oz Hermann Oak leather. Doubt they could make it through. Quote Not so retired RN. Living on the Washington Peninsula.
