Japanese Apron by way of Santa Fe

Last week I had the pleasure of visiting Santa Fe NM with my mom. We wanted to see the local Folk Art museum and galleries for a few days before the summer season brings more tourists. We had the pleasure of staying at the Inn on the Alameda. It was quite convenient and charming. I especially enjoyed meeting Lisa the chef and checking out her cool apron. She was kind enough to let me trace it and make a copy. Here it is.
It is a very simple design, with three button side closure, finished edges with bias tape for long wear, busy but not nuts, looks great on and even has two pockets. I made it up in 100% cotton icot fabric in browns. It came out very nicely and I plan to make a few more. It looks good enough to wear around town as well as in project mode in the kitchen and beyond.

If you love it you can have it if you act now.
