Meet new sewing pattern <Kaede> Utility apron / Tool belt
A new item is just released from Waffle Patterns. Meet Utility apron / Tool belt <Kaede> sewing pattern. You can choose a bib apron type or tool belt with many useful pockets and functional parts!
Please freely mix and combine the design options as you like and make functional gear for sewists, gardeners, carpenters, makeup artists, florists, or all cool creative workers!
<Design options>
View A is an apron type with a bib and the apron is slightly longer than View B. The bib pocket has a layer and pen holder. There is a large layered pocket on the center of the apron and useful cargo pockets, zipper pockets, and hanger loops are on the side parts.
View B is a tool belt type with belt loops, and slightly shorter than View A. The center pocket has one more layer for the artist tool pocket where we can store brushes, seam rippers, or any other stick-shaped equipment.
It features belt loops&belt. you can make a belt for this or use a belt you already have. Also, it can be changed to View A type of belt.
My personal favourite is the detachable tool pocket. If you want to make this, please attach the hunger loop or belt loops/belt for attaching it.
Please mix and match the options for your design intention and materials.
<fabric recommendation>
The pattern is drafted for woven fabrics. Mid-heavy weight durable fabrics like duck, twill, denim, linen, or canvas will be suitable.
Some very thick/stiff fabrics might not be suitable for details like double folded edge or flap etc, because of the thickness of fabric layers. Please consider proper finishes for your material or try to use a contrast fabric for some parts.
I partly used folded nylon tape instead of the double folded pocket opening edges on the sample. Depending on the fabric, maybe this is a good option for the hem, too. Also, I used a contrast fabric for the facing on the gray sample and skip interfacing on some parts, because the shell is quite stiff.
The salmon pink sample was made with mid-weight cotton duck, I made other workwear series with this like Anzu or Azuki.
I bought it at local traveling fabric market years ago. Since the construction is like chambray or dungaree, similar fabrics may be found in coloured denim section.
The gray sample is a teflon-coated outdoor fabric. It’s a bit stiff for clothing but perfect for this item. This fabric is also from my local fabric market years ago.
I want to make another one with oil clothes, raw denim or nylon ripstop if I can find nice fabric.
<Other material>
The samples are using durable webbing tape for the belt and neck straps etc. Those tapes and parts like adjusters are sometimes found in bag making material section at stores.
If you cannot find perfect materials, make the tape from a shell or contrast fabric of the same width.
<Size>
3 sizes XS/S, M/L, and XL/XXL are available. As for choosing your size, I recommend referring to the finishing measurement, too. I think some people like to use a tool belt of a smaller size. In that case, please choose a smaller size, then adjust the length of the belt and neck strap to fit your body. If you use the apron over jackets or outers, a larger size will be the option.
Since the pattern is quite flat, those are suitable for men, too. The length might be too short. If you want to lengthen, off-setting the hem is the easiest way.

not to be a tool gay but
I made an impulse purchase. I don't need this kinda thing but I've always wanted one. Saw it was $50 off regular price and it's pretty good quality, all natural leather and real rivet construction and said fuck it
kinda makes me look good I think lol (yes I'm the kind of person who finds workwear hot)

You know what I like. Really want?
Hear me out
I like to take my pants or, as is usually my garb, shorts off, after school or work, right?
But like
My boxers
They don't have any pockets
This is sad, because I like pockets as much as I like wearing nothing but my underwear
So I have an idea
It's boxers, but with a toolbelt of pockets built into them
And of course, they're only connected at the top, so the pockets can lie on the outside of your pants or shorts if you're wearing them
This is, though, going to get heavy!
So, built in suspenders
It's a win win! I get my pockets, and to run around in nothing but boxers!
