Class: The Workaday Apron with Evan, Sunday December 7, 9AM-1PM

Make your own Merchant & Mills Workaday Apron — a traditional, unisex apron designed for everyday use and industrious demands. 

In this one-session class, we’ll walk through cutting, sewing, and assembling your apron from start to finish. You’ll learn techniques for working with heavier fabrics, sewing pockets, and attaching ties securely.

You can choose from canvas or denim for a classic workwear look, or soft tumbled linen or cotton for an apron you’ll want to wear daily around the house. The finished measurements are approximately 38" long (not including straps) and 33½" wide at the widest point.

Come sew with us and leave with an apron that’s ready for cooking, crafting, or creating!

Skill Level: Beginner. You need to be able to sew a straight line, back tack, sew a zig zag, thread & unjam your machine, and wind your bobbin. The equivalent of taking our “Meet Your Machine” class.
