Bigger pockets for photographers.... genius!

 Last week I had a customer inquire whether or not I could make the pockets larger on a Wonder Woman apron.  Of course I can! They are already really big, but she is a photographer and is hoping to cut down on the amount of bags she has to carry around for her equipment so they needed to be extra big.  Collaborating is fantastic because I automatically assumed that I'd just make the pockets longer but she suggested that I keep the length the same but make the pockets come all the way up to the gold band.  Duh.  It is so funny how you can be so familiar with something but never really see it.  Having an outside perspective is refreshing. 

 Because she is planning to keep important stuff in these pockets, she didn't want them to be open all the time.  Velcro!

I've had other customers purchase aprons for work, make up artists, face painters and hair dressers but I think this is the first photographer (that I know of), I'm certain this apron will make her get in front of a camera every now and then too.

Yay! Wonder Woman is back!

Ok, so, I sold the last one right before Christmas and although I was happy that it found a new home in Canada, was sad to see it go. You see, it is just so much fun to have Wonder Woman with me at the craft shows. It is a fantastic conversation piece and being a semi-shy person who seems to freeze when talking to people that I don't already know, Wonder Woman is great to have around.

The Craft Mafia did a show last weekend and I scrambled all week before the show to get another WonderWoman apron finished to have with me. I probably could have completed 2 or 3 "regular" aprons in the time, but having this one is special and worth the extra work & time.

Below is a picture of one of my mafia sisters, Alexis modeling this Super Hero apron. See? Just look how much fun this apron is!

And, look closely at the shadow box just to the left of Alexis... Rocks doesn't it? You can find it here on Etsy.

Of course, if you want this apron to help you become a Super Hero in your home.... the best price is on Etsy, but if you'd prefer, it is also available on eBay

Wonder Woman is my super hero, so I made a tribute apron!

I've loved wonderwoman since childhood. I used to stand on the end of the diving board in my wonder woman bathing suit and spin myself into the pool. In my head... I WAS wonder woman. Sometimes I still like to think that I am!

There have been plenty of different Wonder Womans through the years. She was created as a comic book hero by a psychiatrist to give little girls a role model back in the early 1900s. Today she is part of the Justice League. But my favorite wonder woman was the one Linda Carter played on TV in the late 70s early 80s.

I collect memorabilia from that time and back in college even created myself the most amazing Halloween costume ever. Last week, while reminiscing over past creations I talked about this costume several times. Then it clicked. I've gotten into the apron business, why not make a Wonder Woman tribute apron? Duh!

I had a mountain of projects to finish but having this apron idea in my head was a great motivator to work all weekend long finishing those up in order to get to this one. I finished it up last night and although it didn't turn out as perfect as I had it in my head, I adore it!

I have this first prototype up for charity auction on eBay right now and will be making a few minor adjustments to the pattern then making a couple more. One for myself of course, then a couple more to take to the Woodstock Craft Show in December.
